Summary:
It was Don Pardo who, at 1:45 PM on Friday November 22nd 1963, first broke the news on the NBC Television Network that President Kennedy had been shot. TV news was then in its infancy, so much so that eleven minutes went by before it occurred to the NBC News staff that they should tape their outgoing coverage, but by the end of that pivotal day in American history, live television news coverage came of age. This set is a document of that event, consisting entirely of their live unedited TV news coverage from the moment they began rolling video tape in the confusing moments after the first bulletin to the tearful sign-off of veteran news man Frank McGhee. It also includes news clip montages compiled by NBC News for broadcast on that date, along with that afternoon's live video feeds of moving images from the assassination scene in Dallas, and finally the torch lighting ceremony at the grave of President Kennedy at Arlington National Cemetery that following Sunday.
