CBS Special Report Close and Nightwatch Open 1983

From CBS, a special report close and the open to the overnight CBS News Nightwatch. Anchors on this show were Felicia Jeter; Karen Stone; Harold Dow; and Christopher Glenn. I kinda liked the green look on this show, especially the world outline map on the set. The animiation looks like it was done on a Commodore 64!

Also, did you notice that the first anchor mentioned it being the first hour? Only on a Sunday night/Early Monday morning would you hear that spiel. At least, that's how it was at the time, heh.

That's all right, thank you for answering. I'll just have to keep looking for earlier ones (I'm trying to find a particular host, who left before that October.)

Sadly, no. I was only 9 when this came out. This show ended before I graduated from High School in 1992. Hopefully, others have them. I'm sorry if I disappointed you.

[Oppledeldoc]

Thank you. Do you have any bits of any others, from earlier in ' 83 or late ' 82? Or that anniversary show, which was also in October?

[mr2del]

It was Halloween (October 31, 1983).

Do you have any more of this Nightwatch episode? And do you know its month and year?

That set looks suspiciously like the WCBS set for the time (with the backdrop changed).
