Temporary. They vacated the main set sometime after November sweeps, and with tonights upload, basically confirmed that News Series 2000, new anchor assignments, and the KABC-style set debuted after Christmas, but likely right on January 2nd, 1984.

I just noticed that they created the temporary set by combining the main news desk with the backdrop used by 4:30:

By the way, is that a temporary set or a secondary one they used for the weekend news? Here's their main 10 p.m. set from earlier in 1983:

By the way, was the KMOX's 10 p.m. news the only edition to use De Wolfe's Fact Action? I'm curious because NMSA has the station using Marx's WBBM theme between 1976 and 1986.

And a NEW find! About half of KNXV News 15 at 10, from February 28th, 1997, same day as the North Hollywood Shootout. If I recall, this is my first newscast find from Phoenix.

 

In 1997, KNXV used "Live, Local, Late-Breaking," as its slogan, while its competitor KPHO opted for a completely different approach -- "Local, Live, Late-Breaking." Who says that consultant-driven local news is beholden to formulas?

WBBM, Chicago; 6 p.m., 1985 (the Arlington Racetrack fire is the top story):

WNAC, Boston, 11 p.m. (rebroadcast), 1980:

It does beg the question: how would THIS be covered today? A good video on ethics in journalism...for 1984.
