Brings back great memories from when I did traffic on News 8.

[@gunnlover]

Metro Traffic in Chopper 8?

@@gunnlover I was on the ground, at the metro studio before they started using in-studio talent.

John B. Wells is the best VO WFAA had. He's come a long way now hosts Caravan to Midnight radio. The last anchor of this era still on WFAA as of now is Dale Hansen, he's slated to retire in September after nearly 40 years with channel 8.

[@DesmondShannon87]

now he's gone! it really is the end of an era

[@itscringecat]

Rest In Peace to former WFAA V/O Dick Ervasti, who passed away this week at the age of 66

[@gunnlover]

WFAA went to crap once Belo was bought by Tegna. The best opens featured "The Spirit of Texas" theme. Then they went all news 8 now and dropped the Midday/5/6/Update titles as well. WFAA died when John McCaa/Gloria Campos/Hansen retired.

Sinclair is worst than Tenga. Sinclair did the same with WJLA-TV in Washington D.C expect more political. Both WFAA and WJLA-TV should be rightfully to ABC Disney. What’s so wrong with Tenga? Was it political like Sinclair?

Did you have to use the wrong voiceover on the clip at 1:19? I say that because that video is available with two audio tracks, one with the actual announcer (which your offering wasn't featuring), and one with the awful amateur in it. Be careful about posting bogus clips; those ruin the historic value of what otherwise is a good compilation.
