Any full news episodes from WEYI in the mid 80's?


Woe to you, oh earth and sea
For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
Because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
Its number is six hundred and sixty-six

WJRT used that logo from ca. 1981 to its sale to ABC in 1995.

When WJRT began using their 1980s and early 1990s logo in 1981, they had "Take a Look", which was originally created for Tampa Bay then-ABC affiliate, WTSP.
