Retro: Salt Lake City - Monday, January 17, 1977

This was the day and place Gary Gilmore was executed. CBS that night, aired a news special (highlighted in bold) about him and the surrounding drama after his execution. Does anyone know how the execution affected that aforementioned broadcast? Also, I sincerely hope this post doesn't cause any disrespect or offense to anyone.
