KTBC said so long to CBS and said hello to FOX, while KBVO said goodbye to FOX and jump to CBS. And KBVO changed the call letters to K-EYE the next day. (7/2/95) 25 years ago tomorrow, three TV stations in Dallas/Fort Worth made the switch to new networks. KDFW - CBS to FOX, KTVT - Ind to CBS, and KDAF - FOX to Ind, and later WB. What a difference 25 years makes for both cities in Texas. Expand Today though, (7/1/95) marks 25 years since the dawn of a new era for News 4 Texas as the CBS era came to a close that night. Last 2 CBS Programs to have aired on ch. 4 were saturday night staples: Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman + Walker, Texas Ranger.

Roadrunner 216 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) Word seems to be that Fox is starting its trimming this month, with developments happening over time instead of like CBS massacre-style. Not related to July, but I found the ones below who have exited just in the past few days. Marcel Clarke, weeknight anchor at KTBC, no longer has any mention of Fox 7 in her bios and her bio's also missing from the website. Her LinkedIn confirms the departure. Paul Wagner, 20-year veteran reporter at WTTG, signed off last night. He made it a point (in the video with Mayor Bowser) that he wasn't actually retiring and was looking at different options. Not sure if this has been mentioned, but Brooke Zauner also joined WAGA in early-June.

There have been a lot of people who have since left the station, both on-air and behind the scenes. Expand Yep. I don’t see Hogan leaving WRAL for TEGNA. They should’ve never botched the Revish transition by moving Hogan to weekends and bringing in Scalia. Hogan and Harris would have been a great pairing. I am speculating here, but I have a feeling we could see Mark Taylor pop up on 10TV. He gained a following at WCMH, and if he was planning a move to WBNS, it puts his weekend demotion and non-renewal into context. WBNS always poaches talent from the others. Even if Dispatch is no longer in control, this still seems like a possibility. https://mobile.twitter.com/MarkTaylor/status/1278013879067586561 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/424/#findComment-247192 Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the stations I mentioned were emulating this since KABC and WLS started this years ago. I think WXYZ (Detroit) when it was a ABC O&O was using there own variation of the pins.

I wrote to Laura Diaz when she was at KABC if it would be possible to get a Circle 7 pin. She basically insinuated it would take an act of God LOL.
