The Very First CBS News Set


Eat News

Recommended Posts

This is a 1948 look at the first CBS News set.

That's Douglas Edwards who would have been about 98 years old this year.

 

A desk...

A monitor and big desk mic...Western Electric 639B ribbon mic.

...and an Underwood on a classic stand.

Some of you may have to google Underwood.

I like that much better than the CBS Evening News set they used from 1991-96. That was one weird set.

That set dated back to 1987-- it was even weirder then, they had these giant glass panel partition things in the back for some reason.

At first, I think they had some of the newsroom behind Dan. But by 1993, the backdrop had a giant world map stage left and a bank of monitors stage right. That was it.

And talk about the awful chemistry between Rather and Chung. No wonder CBS dropped to a distant third.
