Not to be left out, Pittsburgh ABC to get new set

Hearst Television’s WTAE-TV will become the last of the Pittsburgh, Pa. stations to redo its set within less than a year.

The station has been working to move parts of its old set into a temporary studio, with the weather and traffic workspace in the green room next door.

The new set comes as its two competitors, WPXI-TV and KDKA-TV, the NBC and CBS affiliates, respectively, both debuted new sets this past fall that represented significant overhauls of their on air looks.
