  • That desk is awesome. Way before the "Lone Star Five" they'd get in '74. (AND THAT SAME "STAR FIVE" STILL BEING USED TODAY!)

  • Awe, the good ole quads...the TV station that I worked at in the mid-90s still had the 2" reels, which were mainly for commercials at that point. We had 3/4" decks for news video.

  • The announcer is Tom McDonald, the voice of The Texas News back when it was primarily a news reel. Once WBAP-TV changed to an anchor format, Tom became the head news writer/editor. He was my mentor and dear friend when I was fresh out of North Texas.

  • That desk is awesome in every way possible.

  • I remember this when i was a kid in Dallas. To have those days back!

  • Did anyone catch that the desk is actually shaped like the number 5?

  • This is great stuff. I live in Dallas and remember the channel 5 intro., the announcers voice brings back so many memories.

    Thanks for posting this.

  • I wonder if we can get some old clips from Channel 4 and Channel 8, as well -- can we?  That would be nice.

  • Look at Harold Taft drawing his own maps. They just don't do it like that anymore

  • Awesome!!
