All copyrights respected and acknowledged. This clip, featuring Tracy Rowlett, John Criswell and longtime (now retired) weatherman Troy Dungan, was the 6pm newscast of Election Night 1988.
And John McCaa took Chip's place for the weekend news..and then when John left for KDFW, Gloria took his place for the 6 PM news, leaving John McCaa to go solo for the weekend newscasts.
Yes, he did. September of 1987. And looked a lot better than he did in 1992 or way better than he did in 1999. This newscast and promo was in 1988. I grew up watching Chip and Tracy. John McCaa and Gloria Campos. Troy Dungan and Dale Hansen, but now they're all retired, but Chip died the day after Christmas in 2001.
Its been 20 years and it still looks current

And Troy Dungan didn't wear glasses yet. I believe he either began wearing them in '89 or '90.
Yeah I miss those flyover news openings.
Does anybody have the Action News Openings for KXAS?
I believe it was used from 1988-1993.
Wait, I thought Chip Moody came in '87, and co-anchored the weekend news with Gloria Campos.
Yes, he did. September of 1987. And looked a lot better than he did in 1992 or way better than he did in 1999. This newscast and promo was in 1988. I grew up watching Chip and Tracy.

Either 1989 or 1990.
