WLWT, the NBC affiliate in Cincinnati, Ohio, has upgraded its set to feature a 3 × 3 video array behind the anchor desk.

The set was refreshed in 2013 by FX Design Group to feature a new anchor desk, revamped standup area and updated on set graphics to coincide with the station’s switch to HD news.

The video wall, from Primeview, is wrapped in a think internally lit frame segmented into small polygon shapes inspired by the Hearst “diagrid” motif.
