Oops, I meant the original "Current Affair" moved to KDAF from 1989 to 1996.

[dondonp12004]

Then in either 1997 or 1998 the news brand was changed to "NBC 5 Texas News". Since either 1999 or 2000, it's called simply "NBC 5 News".

And "A Current Affair" moved to KDAF (then "Fox 33", now "The 33") in 1989 until 2006. The short-lived revival of "A Current Affair" aired on KDFW Fox 4 in 2005. As for "Jeopardy!" and "Wheel of Fortune", they now air on KTVT CBS 11.

Woah, you're right! The first ACA ran until '96.

Who, Mike and Jane? I can't remember.

Inside Edition was on after the 6 PM newscast in the fall of 1987, when Wheel and Jeopardy moved to WFAA (same time that WFAA's Phase 2 of TM's Spirit debuted)

[gameshowguy2000]

Yes, Jane McGarry (who co-anchored the 5 PM newscast with Larry Estepa) anchored the Noon newscast, though she'd be paired with Mike Snyder for both the 6 and 10 PM newscasts come 1992.
