Great site... filled with video from Myrtle Beach/Florence's ABC affiliate from over the years. I must say, WPDE's 90s opens are some of the best 90s small-market opens I've seen.

 

By the way... you have to open it in Internet Explorer, it doesn't work in Firefox.

I have been to their site and the news opens are pretty good. I like the WPDE news opens from the 1980s, especially the 1989 news open. I believe WILX used the same theme WPDE used for their newscasts in 1989.

Awesome site! Nice to see someone take the time to put something like this together.

 

Interesting they moved to new studios but kept the same set... money must have been tight. Also didn't realize that set (the current one) dated to 1996.

Yeah... WPDE can join WVEC, KWQC, and WITN in the "10+ Year Old Set Club."

 

I like the desk, but the rest of the set is cheap. The plasma on that plain wall is cheap, too.

Look at all that room for a nice, new set!
