Coverage Of The JFK, Martin Luther King And RFK Assassinations in The Period Of 1963 Through 1968

This was the Era of 3 Commercial and One Public Networks. There was no CNN, no FOX, no FOX News Channel, no Headline News and no ESPN:

CBS, NBC and ABC were the Commercial Networks+The Non-Commercial NET, handled all this coverage. Walter Cronkite and Harry Reasoner were on CBS, while Chet Huntley, David Brinkley and Frank Mc Gee were on NBC. Over on ABC, was Howard K Smith, formerly from CBS, back in 1963, while Peter Jennings and Howard K Smith were on ABC in 1968;

During the Mourning Period up to The Funerals, it was wall to wall coverage, on these networks. The Independent Stations, WNEW 5, WPIX 11 and WOR 9, took network feeds from any of the 3 Commercial Networks, in those days. Like I said before, there were no Cable Channels to break the Tedium of the coverage;

It was fascinating but tough to watch all that wall to wall coverage;
