At WFAA, we have always been a pioneer- that is just The WFAA Way. We have led the charge in innovation in all forms of media: first television station located in Dallas, first to break the news of the JFK Assassination, first station to use a helicopter, first in the nation to unveil the first computerized local newsroom, first website in DFW television station- we do it for you, our audience.
