A look inside WBBM-TV's new studios

Arthur Greenwald of TVNewsday reviews CBS-owned WBBM-TV's new digs in the Loop, which brings the station into the 21st century and a long way from its decrepit McClurg Court headquarters.

The new building at 22 W. Washington Blvd. lets the station broadcast its news and local programming in HD and new high-tech equipment - such as Apple's Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Server software (which the station's art department uses), and a lot more I can't explain here.

To read the article, click here (subscription may be required - but it's free.) If you're a tech geek (such as myself), you'll enjoy the article - despite the fact the technically challenged can give less than a darn and rightfully point out this won't do a thing to raise their anemic ratings.
