WFAA News Director Carolyn Mongo said to unclebarky that further makeovers are coming for WFAA. The station is intent on seizing that momentum, Mungo says. “We will be finally getting a set refresh at Victory (Park) in mid-late April,” she tells staffers. “SO -- by May we will have a new ‘brand’ logo launch, a more robust marketing campaign, and a new set! I wanted to thank the entire team for the hard work. I may not see you often, but the morning show is the most important show we do. I huddle with Sheena (Daybreak executive producer Sheena Autin) every day. It is exciting to see our upward trend. There is no stopping us.” http://unclebarky.com/dfw_files/6aaaf426fc48cc951094cc20afe48956-4145.html Say goodbye to This Is Home and hello to C Clarity and Tegna-Set-In-A-Box. IMO, I wish they would get a better news theme with "The Spirit" signature.

Tom Snyder on 20/20, Later with Bob Costas, April-May 1989 I still miss Tom Snyder... Settle back, fire up the colortini, and watch the pictures as they fly through the air. Thanks for watching, Everybody. Godspeed... Tom Snyder. We still miss you.

In honor of M*A*S*H 35th anniversary of the three hour series finale, WLS-TV went behind the scenes of the final filming. And IMO, this was one of favorite shows in the history of television, and the series finale of M*A*S*H will go down as one of the highest rated dramedy in TV history, and I'm glad that MeTV airs M*A*S*H at 7PM Eastern/6PM Central. Goodbye... Farewell... And Amen.
