NBC Studio 6E, The “News Nooks” & Weekend Nightly News Studio
On the left is the entrance to NBC Studio 6E which has 4 small studios and control rooms. Others 6E studio photos will follow, but today we are looking at Media Room 1, which is where Lester Holt does the ‘NBC Nightly News, Weekend Edition’. The desk should look familiar as it from the main 3C ‘Nightly News’ set and was first used by Tom Brokaw, and later Brian Williams. It was used there from 1998 till 2008, when The Global Media Center in 6E came into being. As always, our thanks to our friend Dennis Degan for the new photos he took this week for this series on 6E.
Back in late 80s early 90s was on compuserve BPforum and was friends with the late john Hoffman. Many times when u came to ny he’d show me stuff he was working on. His title was videotape supervisor but was the man regarding the Panasonic MARC automation.
Cheap and dirty–as they say!
Here is that same desk in Studio 3C the day after its last use in that studio in 2007: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dennisdegan/557853219/
One note: There is only 1 control room for the 4 Media Rooms: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dennisdegan/12972035273/
