‘Live!’ gets new set

Syndicated “Live! With Kelly” debuted a new home this morning.

The new set was part of the most expansive studio revamp in the show’s history and includes a larger stage for in-studio performances and a reworked audience area that includes a balcony with additional seating for those coming to see the show in person.

The audience area is also topped with a band of flat screen monitors, just some of the 109 LED monitors used on the new set.

The set was installed while the show was in Canada and reruns for three weeks.

Viewers won’t find the changes overly disconcerting since the main host area retains a similar look and feel of the cityscape background (though the actual image used has been changed).

The rest of the set, however, was changed to reflect an “downtown-style loft” look and feel.
