Exclusive Photos From NBC Studio 8H: Apollo 8 News Headquarters
The First Moon Mission: Part 2

As mentioned in the post just before this, the TK41 solo photo post, there was another anchor position which can be seen in the photo on the left. The darker space is a “green room” for guests, and in the lighted space, we can see what looks like Chet Huntley at the anchor desk. I think Huntley and Brinkley used this 9th floor space most, as John Chancellor and Frank McGee were usually posted at the anchor desk on the studio floor, but John and Frank would alternate up here too. I don’t think this was a permanent broadcast space, but with as many big missions as there were, it may have been kept available for several years. The middle photo shows the orbit map and elapsed time clock showing us that this whole set of 12 photos must have been taken at splash down on December 27, 1968. On the right is the studio’s “ocean floor” which shows the position of the recovery teams for several of the possible splash down points. Thanks to NBC’s Bob Batsche for being there and getting these great pictures.
