In the mid to late 1970s, when KELP became KVIA, the station adapted the "Pro News" slogan, similar to that with KVII up in Amarillo.

Gary Warner, Al Hinjos, Robert Nitzburg and John Garner anchored the 6 PM and 10 PM newscasts back in those days. Today, Warner is the only original anchor remaining from the days when KELP became KVIA (as well as when the station switched from Channel 13 to Channel 7 back in 1982).

The station was also the first one in El Paso to provide viewers with a weather radar. That occurred in 1979.

Anybody else who remembers the Pro News days, please pass the info along.
