This is the 10pm news open from WFAA-TV Channel 8 in Dallas / Fort Worth used around 1983-84.
This was taken directly from WFAA's 50th Anniversary retrospective in 1999, so there is some added voice-over in the open. Also, I wasn't able to capture the video to my computer, so I had to use the very crude method of videoing it off my TV screen. Sorry for being so amateur.

that's when they got rid of their "8-ball" logo that had that same "8" shown.

Ive been looking for this opening of News 8 from '83. I was born in '83 when they'd used this opening. This was before the Spirit of Texas. I love it!!!

Wow, this is very cutting edge for the early '80s. Probably my favorite News 8 open.
