- This one-hour special commemorating the 40th anniversary of Dallas television station WFAA-TV aired in 1989 and was hosted by Tracy Rowlett, written and produced by John Sparks, directed by Jerry Cadigan, and edited by Steve Price. It features clips from locally-produced programming and interviews with many of the station's personalities and managers.
Chip, Tracy, Troy, Dale, and John and Gloria were the people I grew up watching. Channel 8 was my main TV station then and it still is.
That old ad from News 8 in 1970 really took us back. Great to see old faces like Dale Milford, Blaine Smith (staff announcer during prime time and also did weekend weather), and Bob Gooding. Also a treat to see a 1973 News 8 ad with Jack Van Roy. Names many of you have forgotten.
Celebrating 40 Years of Central Alabama. Something's Happening Here on Channel 6 WBRC-TV Birmingham, Alabama. Your ABC station in Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Anniston/Gadsden, Alabama: See it First on 6 (1949-1989).
Thank you for this! Very interesting history! I lived in the DFW area from 1963 to 1986 and remember so many of these great people.
Mark your calendars my abc station turns 75 in September 2024.
Check out the clip very closely at 43:20, and it is still hard to believe that this went under the radar screen for a long time. Doing weekend sports on Channel 8 was none other than Frank Clarke, the first black sportscaster in Dallas. So much had been made of other blacks breaking into the news business at Metroplex stations in the 1970s, but let's not forget Frank Clarke, who was 8's other sportscaster in the late '60s and early '70s. I may not remember him from my childhood, as I think by '71 he was probably already gone. Dale Hansen ought to be interested in this clip.
I was born in 1989 during the Final Year of Something's Happening of Jill Colucci. My Local then ABC now FOX good WORK WBRC 6.
Wfaa tv did do verison of ABC's something happening 3 years in a row from 1987-1990
The spirit's happening verisons for my abc affiliate are 1987-88 Paul Revere and the raiders. 1988-89 dancing in the street from 1964. And lastly in 1989-90 Jill coluccl.
I was born on December 6th, 1988 just 3 mouths after the 2nd year of the spirit's happening. This is my abc affiliate good work wfaa.
What is the name of the music news 8 on the move part of the show?
The promo which featured “News 8 On The Move-It was only half enough” came from the rock opera Tommy by The Who.
Yes but who is it that does the wfaa version of the song on the news show? The same theme is also on wfaa's let me speak to the manager, I sure would like to hear these versions.
@@traviswilliams2081 the jingle on the news open with Don Harris is a very short interlude from the soundtrack album from Goldfinger. I do not know where the manager theme music was taken from.
Not the Who's version, but the news version of the song.
Who scores the wfaa version of the half enough promo music
1989, not 1988.
John, I was a year old I'm heard my abc affiliate doing local verison of something happening on abc. That's was the final year of the sprirt's happening.
@@matthewcampbell7985 I wanna make sure this is right, though. Because the 50th Anniversary special aired in 1999, and the station launched in 1949.
