(From CBS.com)
ARTHUR BLOOM, the award-winning CBS NEWS television director responsible for the distinctive on-screen look of
60 MINUTES since its debut 37 years ago and who led the modernization of on-screen graphics at CBS NEWS, died at home Saturday of cancer.
He was 63 and resided in Grandview-on-Hudson, New York.
He was one of the last remaining original 60 MINUTES founders still working for the program.
Most of Bloom's time was devoted to 60 MINUTES -- he helped to create and then honed the consistent, classy look of the broadcast.
Each week he worked in Studio 33 in THE CBS BROADCAST CENTER monitoring the program's studio production and directing the 60 MINUTES correspondents as they taped introductions and tags for their reports.
He influenced some of the broadcast's most basic elements, starting with its famous ticking stopwatch.
