After a few days’ watching, I find the new graphics very pleasant to look at. For me, this is a nice development of the previous version and a good change. I don’t share the “Powerpoint” opinion.
The article about Chris Licht is really some fascinating reading. However, I also think it is missing some important successes, including the end of the sensationalism and the everlasting Breaking News, end of panels only, bringing 6 hours of News Central with a lot more balanced choice of topics and a very good presentation style. I see a real danger for him in not relating enough to the CNN staff. That’s at least an impression one gets. I agree that it must be an enormous challenge to change the Zucker era culture there. I keep my fingers crossed he succeeds.
The last point: I hope, at some point CNNI will be valued more than it has been. But I don’t see many reasons to believe that this is coming, unfortunately.

CNN still has to polish the ticker for special events - it has just overlapped with the clock at the beginning of the Town Hall (and had a typo in the brand name)
Later on they just got rid of the clock in lower thirds, a rare occasion for a live event

An hour of American Morning in 2003 (and the handover from CNN Daybreak).

Thanks for sharing - that was my favourite era of any CNN morning show.
I stood outside that studio on 6th Avenue (in what used to be called the Time-Life Building) while the show was on air once. It was actually just across a plaza from Fox News - the red ticker you can see in the distance behind Bill Hemmer is on the outside of the Fox News studio.
The studio had a great view of Radio City Music Hall, but it's not obvious from the camera angles they were using in the above video.

That post from 2003 led me to go on my own nostalgia hunt.
I really should know this being an avid CNN viewer, but this was a little before I started consuming it daily.
Where was the Election Center located before moving to Washington?
I'd say it was from the CNN Center, but in this video they seem to be in a building where the public can be seen through the windows?

Prior to 2004, it was the Atlanta set. I think possibly the marathon election 2000 coverage was the last to use it.

Thanks for that, but would you know which studio is came from? I don't recall any studios being at street level, unless I'm missing huge chunk of memory.

The 2004 election coverage above is broadcast from the floor of the NASDAQ in NYC.

I believe one year before moving to the Nasdaq studio they dressed the atrium at CNN Centre and they had a set built on one of the walkways above the food court. It looked pretty cool. Because the channel felt huge. You could see the windows into all the operations. CNNi, Domestic, Espanol, Radio, Headline News, Airport.

That was 1996, and it looked fantastic.
