If I recall correctly, approximately a month after this clip, they introduced the large red newsplex that later changed colors in 2004 and have been there ever since. BTW: I'll echo TLC2287's comment, where is Lester Strong these days - I am wondering where he is too.
Ooo. I haven't seen this look in a longgg time. I remember when our city was propsing to changing our name and they put down the new name and she said "live from Ocean Park..."
But yeah, It was very red back then, now it's super blue.
"Hard Copy" used to be on at 4:30 and "7 News" would then continue at 5. This lasted until HC was cancelled in the summer of 1999, upon which the station expanded its newscast to 4:30.
Look at Fenway and all the old billboards. Actually some empty seats.

Didn't they have this look up until around 2001-2002 or 2003?

John Marler teaches at my school (Oregon State University).
He teaches field production fairly well, though, he is a rough grader. But, I've learned alot.

Victoria Block came in 1993 and still is here. I think Janet Wu came in at the same time, too...
