As long as Sunbeam owns it and the Ansin family is involved. WSVN will continue to use the tabloid look. The wild graphics and pounding music is WSVN. Big screens and flashy sets is their signature. These days everything basically is flat and the music is minimal and WSVN basically said: Bump That! We're doing own thing." So if they suddenly turn into a BBC-clone, they would loose their signature style and their unique point of difference from the crowd. What if suddenly the The SUN or Mirror overnight turned into Telegraph or Times clones. Im sure their readership wouldnt be too happy. I think most people outside the US fail to understand the fierce competition in most tv markets. Especially a market the Miami-Ft Lauderdale market. ITS INTENSE. Thats why things in local news is a bit flashier and in your face. And they promote and brand everything. They are massive, direct competition. In Miami-Ft Lauderdale, you have all the English channels battling and the market leaders are the Spanish language stations for eyeballs. Thats why Miami has always been an outlier in the US local tv landscape to this day. TV news in South/Central America is flashy and sexy and loud. For Miami, add in the Latin flair and the Miami Vice vibe from the 80s early 90s. You kinda get where WSVN and many of the Miami stations get their look and tone.

WSVN maybe flashy, but its often thought of amongst local tv journalists, as a great place to work. Because they dont get bogged down in stupidity. Its a station that is extremely news-heavy, and they present NEWS. And a lot of it. So if you want to do great stories, WSVN often gives their reporters the time and space to do it. They have a huge news team, the biggest in South Florida. And they have hours to fill. And they can basically do what they want because its not owned by some big massive company that owns hundreds of stations with tiny budgets, churning our corporated mandated presentation. The other major station Sunbeam owns is WHDH Boston.

So the move away from their current home is a big move. Apparently the infrastructure on Broadcast Key has aged out and Ansin and Sunbeam is going to make a mint building a new residential structure. Especially because its location off coast on a key, in the bay, with a view of the Skyline.

But being WSVN. Fingers-crossed they are designing something jaw-dropping. (for local tv news). I expects screens and lots of them. But think when they actually move. Especially how they promote it. They are going to do something stupid and over the top, and Im here for it. Mainly because local news is all Corporate mandate looks and samey-samey identical looks everywhere. Boring.
its the most ridiculous station. Everyone know that. But the best part is they dont care what people think. And its not like their ratings dip. They are number 1! They do what they do and they dont follow the crowd. Back in the day literrally everyone copied WSVN. Using the graphic style, Hiring their composers and Voice-over guy, even recreating their Newsplex. The station is nothing but consistent and that has to be recognized.
