Isn't it great, though, to think they've been with us all these years (and hopefully, for many more to come.) Observation: If WFAA were smart, they'd do some sort of "Then & Now" -themed ad campaign.
I have been a huge fan of WFAA's theme music for as long as I can remember, from this theme, to "The Spirit (Of Texas)" (versions 1 and 2) by Stephen Arnold in the late 90s and early 2000s, to "Evolution" (which is a ringtone on my cell phone :) ) and "Propulsion". I like this theme in particular because it mixes very well the contemporary (for the time) percussion (harmony) with the orchestral brass (melody), and it's just so uniquely Texan.
I now live in LA, but I grew up in Ft. Worth watching WFAA. I miss these two anchors so much. LA news is so depressing.

There used to be a video of the 1991 close (same video ending) but a different theme. I wonder what happened to it.

Wow...how long have John and Gloria been there? This was taped before I was born, so I'm not familiar with the tenure of these people.
