Shots are fired and JFK is hit. The following programming was all preempted, no regular programming would be seen on the big 3 affiliates until Monday. Not sure what WEDU did - maybe take a network off the air and preempted the educational programming? What DID the educational stations do? What did KERA in Dallas do?
