Right before GMA went to Times Square.

much better. less clutter works.

As Chuckie Finster once said: "A clean room is a happy room." In this case a clean chyron is a happy chyron. At least we the graphics are improving. 

No white border. Way to go NBC.

NBC Nightly News (1991) my favorite of their various newsroom world map backgrounds. Love that the background changes based on shot, so studio segments dont look monotonus.

 

Third image: I'm surprised the  background had depth. I assumed it was flat and we'd see the newsroom from that angle.

The first Dateline Set was the NBC Nightly News Set before Dateline switched to their command center set. 

WPTV's 1980's set is another Scripps set of the time. 

Set for The Burden of Proof on CNN.

WHEC/Rochester had the same news set as WNYT.

Anyone else?

FOX News Set from 1996.

The WKYC Set from 1993 and its 1999 refurbished version. The weather desk from the 1997 version and the 1999 refurbished version is currently used at the University of Akron in Kobe Hall for their Z-TV. Before that WVPX used it for PAX 23 News. The 1997 version had blue borders on the windows of the Cleveland Backdrop and the NBC logo on the front of the desk. The 1998 version darkened the walls to a red color.

Here is the 1998 version with it's changes. 

CNN International's 1994 news set.

Some more WKYC sets.

I like that one.

WOIO's 12th Street Studio. This is something Good Morning America & The Today Show got to use in terms of Street Side Studios. WOIO still uses this 12th Street Studio for certain things like during the pandemic as a set to be used for social distancing.

This good old CBS News set. 

I mentioned earlier that News Desk 2 had of the WEWS 1995 set had 2 different backdrops apart from the sunrise backdrop used for Good Morning Cleveland. Both these images shown have that monitor.

Desk 2 with original skyline

Desk 2 with skyline featuring Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

ABC News set from the late 1990s.

My first new topic right here. I am talking about news sets of the 1990's and their designers and fabricators. 

First off is WEWS sets from 1995 and 1998. I don't know who made these sets but they did look good. The 1995 set had desks similar to ABC News 20/20. The 1998 set was a product of its time coming in months after the 1998 WEWS logo debuted. 

Here is WJW's set from 1996. It went through some changes but the original is the work in progress.

I know that another backdrop of Cleveland mainly with The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame was used on the other anchor desk photo 2. Another was a sunrise for Good Morning Cleveland.

The best is Dateline NBC. Their set was like a command center.

OK! WKYC Studios rebranding got off to a bad start but 2 years later, things improve.

A compilation of Smuckers Birthdays in honor of Willard. I will miss you forever and so will millions. Whether you were getting ready to go to work, or if you were a little kid watching the Macy's Parade with mom and dad, Willard was a presence that NBC can never replace. RIP forever, Willard.

 

 

The first Ronald McDonald.

Not quite-- this was the version that first would have Hugh Downs by himself, and then would have him and Barbara Walters (it would last, IINM, from 1979-89):

 

 

 

The 1989 set I posted recently (I probably didn't make it clear) was apparently the prototype for the 90s set; the version starting in the 90s had the ABC News logo on top of the backdrop to be more defined, and the 20/20 title had the figure attached to it to be slimmed down to a more rectangular shape, as opposed to a large square shape on the 1989 set:

 

 

That desk looks similar to what WEWS would use in 1995.

Funny that WEWS in Cleveland is still using the old logo, while it’s sister stations in Detroit (WXYZ) and Cincinnati (WCPO) are both now using the new ABC logo.  Just strange.  It’s an WEWS thing in my opinion, not a Scripps thing.

Looks like WEWS is starting to ride the new ABC logo wagon. I'm not making this up. Look at their Facebook avatar. WEWS using the new ABC logo transition has just begun.

You can hear him in this VHS open compilation, at 1:51 (plenty more can be found on YouTube), unless it’s someone else.

 

Also yes, I now see the difference between this guy and Burton Richardson, the latter sounds a bit lower-pitched.

That is John Leader. Here is another trailer with him.

Here is the set of ABC's Good Morning America from the 70's.
