I remember Craig hosting the early news. I think it aired before the rebooted GMA by the looks of the graphic and set?
Before the Mike Hammond FMTV version of GMA? Still think that was ahead of its time.

It really was, but unfortunately didn’t click (or have time to, or coming off the KAK years just alienated viewers perhaps?). I remember watching it for a while then turning over to Today and noticing how much slower pace Today was. GMA 2.0 was fast facts and fun. More like a radio show.
We didn’t see another show take Today head-on until Sunrise 10 years later, which had many of the elements of GMA 2.0.

When 10 had exclusive rights to CNN. I think I recall 10 also used the American ‘Headline News’ graphics for News Updates for a short while (but I can’t find evidence of this..).

Alan Jones Live from 18 March 1994:
though Sandra later returned to the Late News in mid-2011 after the Sydney Evening News (which she migrated to at the start of the year) was axed, with 6PM with George Negus moving to 6:30 and therefore going head to head with the more established ACA and TT.
For the Ten News Revolution that the network promoted in 2011, sadly by 2014 it would be reduced to just the 5:00pm bulletin, though in recent years we’ve seen them introduce the midday (now lunchtime) and afternoon bulletins (which IMO are just too close to each other), and revive the Late News.
Completely forgot about the era when The Bolt Report was produced by 10 and came from Melbourne.
From the old Melbourne studio
The current studio using that old desk (which also made an appearance in the Sports Tonight 2018 reboot).
Shows how old this studio is!

Pretty sure it debuted in 2011, for Melbourne’s Ten Evening News at 6.30.

That’s right
Meet The Press was also filmed in The Project Studio next door. Melbourne also accommodated a Sunday morning News Update too.

10 News moved into that studio the day Candice joined Stephen as co-anchor. Previously it was in the studio that Cheap Seats now houses.

It’s been about a 11 years now with that set.
Candice said it was the best looking set in Melbourne at the time.

At the time it was if you remember the Nine and Seven sets were pretty ordinary

I think Seven has had three sets since.
Yep, I would agree that 10 had the best set in that era until Nine got their current set in 2017.

A Brigitte Duclos newsbreak in Melbourne. Always enjoyed her on 10’s news. Also includes a nice David & Jo endboard for the 6pm news in 1991.
