RARE -- Today Show (Nov 2001) covering the aftermath of the American 587 crash. Post 9/11 colored lower thirds were in use. The patriotic tinted peacock bug was still used.

NBC News American 587 crash coverage (2001). In similar fashion to 911, Matt and Katie are reporting on an American Airlines crash in New York City that occurred during the Today Show. One can only imagine how re-traumatizing that entire incident was, yet a lot of people my age had no idea this even happened.

Good 'ol WPLG from 1999. This was back when WPLG was in Miami-Dade, when Eyewitness News was still its name, and when The One and Only (music package) was only five years old.

WBNS would get their set developed by Devlin Design Group 90s set a year prior in 1994.  The Wolfe's had the money to spend for both stations.

I wish WTHR was still of this format 30 years later, instead of becoming just 13 News (unfortunately, profit is king apparently, so Eyewitness went out the window in 2022).
