Title:
WFAA Newscast, January 29, 1985

Description:
(REMASTERED with better VCR and different edit) January 29, 1985 WFAA Channel 8 Dallas (ABC) 10 pm newscast. Opening titles; John Criswell and Iola Johnson; commercial break with Avis, Birdy film preview, and Entertainment Tonight promo; entire Troy Dungan weathercast; first minute of Dale Hansen sports; and closing short credits. Compare the theme song with the one at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7r_Z4BDliWg . From 1984 to 1991 WFAA used the highly successful "Spirit" theme music campaign by TM Productions, customized for WFAA as "Spirit of Texas", with voiceover talent from John B. Wells. Ironically from 1996 to present they went to Stephen Arnold Music for their music, the ones who penned KXAS-5's 1980s news music. WFAA actually had an inhouse video graphics department, where they did their titles and animations (such as the news opener) on state-of-the-art Quantel Paintboxes.
