Hmm, well on one of flybynight's WFAA videos (all of his were weekday editions of the Update), you said that they put BOA in during the 1986 opens.

No BOA Building in those shots. The building opened on 9/11/1985 and was lit on a friday night. My father was there and told me about it when I was a kid. You could see BOA from our porch in Arlington if you looked to the east along Pioneer Parkway.

And I believe bdsnook2 had a Fall 1987 open with the "It's 10 O'Clock open" back when he was bdsnook.

[gameshowguy2000]

Actually, that open was from Fall 1987.

This was the Sunday edition...Saturdays had Tony Martinez doing Sports. (And did anyone catch the BOA building?)

Ah, thanks for the info. I moved to DFW in Sept 1986 and I was like uh did someone do a real good editing job adding in new anchors but keeping Dale.....

Thanks for the info.

Does anybody have any more openings from 1988 where the 10 PM news started off with "ITS TEN O'CLOCK AND YOU ARE WATCHING WFAA TV, WORKING IN THE SPIRIT OF TEXAS!"
