Amazing how emotional I still get when I watch a drama that portrays that infamous day. Looks like they went to the CBS/NBC archives and borrowed some aircheck tapes for replay on the sets. I have NBC's coverage from that day in my library.There were, I recall, many technical gliches that day in '63. Hasty network connections made for many sync problems as ATT's overworked techs tried to satisfy all the media demands for radio & TV feeds from all over the country. Talk about breaking news at a time when TV news coverage was still getting its legs. I am impressed with Mad Men's accuracy in it's depiction of that era. The correctness of the various TV's do add realism to the scenes. Don't recall any color sets. You'd think a large advertising agency would have one in the conference room. Stay tuned.
