BTW, that TF1 set above was so far ahead of its time that it could easily be used today. It certainly doesn't look 20 years old:

And this is what France 3's late news -- Soir 3 , recently expanded and renamed Grand Soir 3 --, looks like these days:
And from 1987, here's FR3's 7 p.m. news -- I really like the intro and the overall "inside the newsroom" feel:

Indeed. Here's an American newscast that reminds me even more of CityTV -- KCOP in Los Angeles,1993:
For anyone unfamiliar with the original CityTV, here's a newscast from that station -- in its entirety -- from year earlier:

Just to clarify, I don't think Hinch was the immediate predecessor to Today Tonight. At the very least, 'Real Life' with Stan Grant was in place for a couple of years (I think?).
Forgot about Stan taking over. Hinch went over to 10 with basically the same show he had at 7 - even the same theme music if I remember.

Most of the stations out there have their own seismographs. KCBS has a digital one while KABC has a live cam. Here is the link: http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/livenow?id=7367462 you can still see the aftershocks recorded from this morning.
I would imagine its kinda scary being in a studio with hot lights swinging precariously above your head and set that could crash down if the shaking is prolonged. But reading articles earlier today mentioned the lighting is chained up....but still scary. But its interesting that KTLA and KABC were the only stations in which the anchors took shelter under the desk. All of them used to do that more frequently in years past. But its pretty cool how they were able to shift quickly from light fluffy morning show stuff to covering this breaking story as people were just waking up. KNBC is being raked over the coals for barely covering it at all. KABC actually dropped GMA to stay local and continue live coverage to assure the public everything was safe and this wasnt a pre-shock leading up to a more intense or stronger quake. its always dramatic tv.
