Seattle NBC debuts streetside studio

Tegna’s KING-TV moved into its new broadcast center in the SoDo neighborhood of Seattle over the weekend.

The station now calls the Home Plate Center home, which is located across the street from Safeco Field and the Seattle Mariners.

Part of the upgrade for KING-TV was a new studio, which includes a 360 degree shooting space and windows looking towards the stadium.

The set was designed by Jack Morton PDG’s Joe Lamberta, with fabrication by blackwalnut and lighting by Bill Holshevnikoff.
