Well i didn't move to South Carolina until Early 1998. So the 1990's set would've been use from somewhere around 1998 to 2000-2001.

I like the sets used in the 1970's 1980's and the early 1990's like 1990 to 1995.

Thanks for posting! I have to admit I was old enough to remember that early 70's set with the huge white desks and "blue screen" boards. They opened the shows cold and then the closing credits rolled to the theme from Patton. I don't think anybody else in the country used that music.

The sets aren't all that changed. It's gone from an all caucasian newscast to an (almost) all afro-american newscast. Signs of the times, that's for sure.
