WXNE-TV

Background
WXNE-TV first aired itself on October 10, 1977 as an independent station, and was founded by Christian Broadcasting Network. The station's early programming format was targeted at a family audience, consisting of older syndicated reruns and a decent amount of religious programming. In 1983, the station rebranded itself as "Boston 25", as it converted into a true independent, with it was holding a solid third place among the area's independent stations and sixth in the ratings among the market's commercial television stations. Then in 1986, WXNE and the other two CBN-owned stations (KXTX-TV in Dallas and WYAH-TV in Portsmouth) were put up for sale, and in that August, News Corporation announced its soon purchase of the station and make it an owned-and-operated station of its Fox Broadcasting Company. And 1 year later, it became an affiliated of the new broadcasting network, FOX, and renamed itself to WFXT.

Logo (1983-1985)
Visuals:
 * 1983: Against a sunset background with bubble-like objects at the bottom, multiple copies of the silver number "25" with a thin outline on it, which is the station's logo at the time, appear at random places and fly out of the screen as they zoom in. A copy of the logo then fades in, with the other ones that are zooming in get faded out. It slowly zooms in, while the camera also zooms in to the  part of the sunset, and the gray text "WXNE-TV BOSTON" with an  outline on it, fades in below. Both the logo and the text then shine afterwards.
 * 1984: On a background with a white grid on it, a flat  rectangle which has the station's logo "25" and the text "WXNE-TV" in  on it, flies in from the right, then does a flip and stay still, with it leaning to the right.
 * 1985: On a background, with a line of gray lines at the bottom sliding to the bottom right on an invisible surface, a steel blue rectangle which has the word "WXNE" and the station's logo on it, is seen flying a bit to the left, then stops and flips as it gets closer to the screen. And after that, three flashes then occur on the letters "X", "N" and "E".
