RETRO: Knoxville/Charlotte Region (scheduled), Sunday, 24 November 1963

Of course, none of these programs ran on this date, possibly excepting some of the church service and religious programming, as all of these stations were airing network coverage of the aftermath of President Kennedy’s assassination Friday afternoon. This is also the day that Kennedy’s alleged assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, would be shot by Jack Ruby in the Dallas Police Department garage; as it turned out, NBC telecast that murder live at 12:21 P.M. Eastern Time.

This would have been from November 20 as Price aired Wednesday nights normally on ABC. November 21 was on a Thursday.
