A couple notes. This is within the first month or so of News Series 2000 Plus' two decade run on WLS, though the station's top-to-bottom refresh was almost a year-long process. Early 1992: in-show graphics and lower thirds Fall 1992: WPVI-style opens and new theme, plus the move to the temporary set Jan/Feb 1993: New set and a few anchor changes Looks familiar, but this is a temporary set. The late 80's model was reconstructed elsewhere, while the new one for 1993 was being built. The easy was to tell is the wide branded panel behind the 2 anchors. The background on the hard set was narrower, so they could pull up the curtain to expose a green screen for reporter tosses. Also, the entire run of that set, from 1987 to 1992, featured only circle 7's on the walls. The placement of ''Eyewitness News' was a preview of what would be on the new set, just in the old model's dark blue, and not the much lighter shade of the new.

KUMV TV-8 Night Report (September 21, 1991) Sounds like a very early Bill Ratner sighting in the introduction of the newscast.

Indeed. On the flip side I cant take CNN and MSNBC's obsessive focus on Trump and the right either. I thought it would die down after he left office but MSNBC especially is still laser focused on the ramifications of the January 6th rihots.

As Hawk Harrelson would say...'he gone!'

(1990)Classic ABC News promo featuring most of the network's big shot anchors. Wish Charlie Gibson and Joan Lunden could have made it in too. The successive deaths of the Soviet Union's leaders in just 3 years: CBS Evening News (1982): Leonid Brezhnev's death CBS Evening News (1984): Yuri Andropov's death CBS Evening News (1985): Konstantin Chernenko's death, Gorbachev becomes leader
