San Antonio station moving to new home

Sinclair‘s WOAI-TV in San Antonio is prepping to say goodbye to its home of 65 years and move in with its sister stations.

The station, which was the market’s first, is leaving downtown for the headquarters KABB-TV, the city’s Fox affiliate, on the northwest side of the city. That building has been recently renovated and includes a new set for WOAI-TV as well as a large, combined newsroom. CW affiliate KMYS-TV also uses the facility.

The new set, designed by Devlin Design Group, features a flexible anchor area with sleek desk and patterned backdrop. A textured wall with freestanding flat screen is on one side, while the other includes a well mounted 2×2 monitor array an a weather center. An additional interview set with sofa and standup area rounds out the studio.
