Anchors, reporters and managers at KENS-TV are super-pumped about their striking new set, not to mention the greatly improved technology that goes with it.
The set will be unveiled at 4 today during Deborah Knapp’s newscast, the station revealed, but it will be prominent in all evening newscasts.
“We are all very excited. Technology is changing so rapidly, and now we have the very latest tools to bring the news home to San Antonio,” Knapp said in an email.
“The studio is HUGE – I’m going to have to have my running shoes handy!” she added.
Judging by the photos sent by KENS, the studio’s beauty, not to mention bells and whistles, should help draw more eyes to the CBS affiliate’s many news programs, something that can’t hurt during the February ratings period.
KENS General Manager Tom Cury also couldn’t be prouder of what he terms “the largest and most versatile local television broadcast studio in San Antonio, and quite possibly all of Texas.”
“The KENS 5 studio project has been in planning, design and development since April 2016,” Cury wrote in an email.
“The team began gutting the studio on December 1, 2016, from end to end, top to bottom.”
Seventy days later, he added, the changes are astounding. “The new technology, capabilities and space our team has to work with gives KENS 5 many options to continue our audience growth and connection to San Antonio.”
Here are some of the specific pluses listed by Don Smith Jr., KENS director of marketing:
Viewers who have grown attached to the “Eyewitness News” theme music should also be pleased. Smith said new music and newscast graphics aren’t part of the changes.
