WFLA-TV

1962–1975




1975–1981


This "8" logo was used from 1975 to 1981. This logo was captured from a 1980 WFLA promo that had the 1979-1986 NBC logo next to the 8. WFLA would not attach the peacock to its logo again until 1995.

1981–1982


This "gapped" 8 logo would only last a year as WFLA was in the ratings basement during this logo's era.

1982–1983


This logo debuted in the Fall of 1982 with an image campaign called "The Spirit of Tampa Bay".

1983–1988


In January 1983, WFLA-TV changed its call letters to WXFL-TV as their owner Media General sold its sister radio stations WFLA-FM and WFLA-AM. The radio stations got to keep their call letters and Channel 8 was forced to change theirs.

1989–1992
The rule on TV/Radio call letters not belonging to different owners was ratified and on January 1, 1989, Channel 8 regained the WFLA-TV call letters.
