ABC30 Action News studio gets improvements

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- You may have noticed a different look to our set. For two weeks, construction crews have been building us some high-tech additions. The renovation to our studios is meant to improve and modernize the way we deliver the news to you, our viewers.

Whatever time of day you watch Action News, loyal viewers are seeing a change on air. From a new set and background, to brighter, more energy efficient lights, the changes are subtle but convey a more clean and modern look.

But what ABC30 managers and set designers really wanted to accomplish, was a better way to interact with our audience, our ABC30 Insiders. One of the things we're most excited about is a huge touchscreen monitor. We can accumulate your contributions through social media. The possibilities are endless. So keep tagging #abc30insider because we love featuring your contributions, especially if it's live, local, late-breaking.

Bigger, better video is also the goal. Video is how we, as a TV station, can best tell your stories. Thanks to our 9-screen high definition stitch monitor, we can really highlight the best, most visually stunning images. We can show a single image or multiple images on the huge screen. It's a huge advantage for an event like the Pope's visit to America, where he was in multiple locations. We can show you the best video and most complete coverage.
