I never thought I'd be nostalgic for that era, yet here I am. Even with the Iowa Caucus just days away, politics didn't seem to dominate or lead every single hour. Also, as far as presentation goes, there are several things we wouldn't really see today: anything like that expansive Studio 7, in-studio handoffs between anchors, or a real newsroom backdrop for at least one hour. Also, Suzanne Malveaux reading four minutes' worth of headlines at the top of the hour with a music bed underneath the entire time is not really something we'd see today. Also, who can forget the supertease during the Brooke Baldwin block of her walking around CNN Center (though Don was filling in the day I recorded.)
The original Studio 7 Newsroom theme and look were my favorite , hated when they changed the music later on. I remember the Brooke Baldwin newsroom having that nice yellow and blue look and a special intro that was neat. I miss most of pre Zucker CNN.
