I was not "in the trenches" that day, although I was in Fort Worth, in 4th grade. It appeared that WBAP had to break into the NBC network round robin with a precise switch locally and in New York. I guess there was some communication problem, feedback etc. The videotape (A&E playing NBC coverage) pretty much says it all. I can't imagine the chaos AT&T was going through in Fort Worth and Dallas that afternoon when all hell broke loose. Kennedy being rushed off to Parkland, LBJ being rushed to Love Field, sworn in, and getting "out of Dodge" as fast as possible.<BR>

If you ever get a chance to read Jim Bishop's book on that day, do so. It's not so much about radio or TV, just the events leading up to and surrounding the shooting in Dallas, in regard to four people or groups: JFK, Oswald, Ruby, and the Dallas Police Department.<BR>
