KOMU-TV (stands for Missouri University) was the brainchild of longtime University of Missouri journalism professor Edward C. Lambert, who wanted to give journalism students a hands-on experience by working at a full-fledged commercial station. It began airing an analog signal on VHF channel 8 on December 21, 1953 and carried programming from all four major networks at the time, but was a primary NBC affiliate. It is one of two commercial, full-power TV stations in the US (alongside WVUA in Tuscaloosa, Alabama) to be owned by a public university.

The "ei8ht" logo used here appears to be influenced by the logo used by WJKW-TV (now WJW) from 1966-77 (and briefly revived in modified version from 1995-96).

Note that this ID used the 1976-79 "Trapezoid N" logo for NBC instead of the then-current "Proud N" variant.

On August 8, 1982, KOMU swapped affiliations with KCBJ-TV (channel 17, now KMIZ), making KOMU an ABC station.
