This was a quick open KDFW experimented with. KDFW has an edge over KXAS, WFAA and KTVT: that it can go directly from closing its 9pm newshour to opening it's 10pm news commerial-free. This gives KDFW a HUGE advantage. Most nights, KDFW is already a minute to a minute and a half into their top story live shot, while the other stations (especially KTVT and notoriously last, KXAS) are rolling the news open animations.
The FOX Drumroll used to open KDFW's newscasts?
No Theme Music to Go Along With it?
