@MeInTX okay

and i remember fox 33 kdaf back in 1994

[MeInTX]

@cameron20101000 As I recall, the big switch happened after the prime-time programming on July 1, which was a Saturday. I don't remember KDFW doing anything major to commenerate the change. Whatever the last primetime program on CBS that evening ran its closing credits, they went to commercial, and when the 10:00 news started, they were Fox 4.

[cameron20101000]

@MeInTX which was 1995.

[MeInTX]

@cameron20101000 The big switch happened 16 years ago. The changes are not that new (though as late as 1999, I did set my VCR to record 33 instead of 4 for a new episode of The Simpsons).

[cameron20101000]

@MeInTX i hate the new fucking changes

[MeInTX]

@cameron20101000 Fox is still on KDFW 4.  In fact, Channel 4 is now a Fox O&O.
