Youtube currently has a three-part series on the TV coverage of Kennedy's assassination by NBC. I've downloaded the first two parts of the series to my computer already, and will download the last one tonight before I go to bed. Tomorrow I'll burn them to DVDs. I'm interested in this because NBC was then and is to this day my most-watched TV network for news; a lot of my favorite dramas are also showing up on NBC's cable networks, particularly USA Network which carries Law & Order and at least one of its spinoffs.
There was also a special program on NBC tonight, "Where Were You? The Day JFK Died", which I watched with interest. I was seven years old in 1963 and in grade school; we heard of Kennedy's assassination over the PA system, and were sent home early that day. Of course, the news was all over TV (all three networks at that time) and was in the papers the next day.
