Kentucky Rain....
I also, 19 like you rob but off into TV engineering at WABG-TV in Greenwood. Seeing the funeral and throng of people on TV was surreal as I grew up in the neighborhood just over a mile from Graceland. Went to Westhaven Elementry and Lanier Jr. High before we moved in '73.
I was just thankful I had seen Elvis in 1975 at the Mid-South Colosseum. I remember the day George Kline anounced it on 'HBQ that Elvis had added a show at the end of the tour.
Time flies......

I put in some time at the Greenville "satellite" facility of WABG-TV (it took the place of my afternoon shift at WDDT for the last half of my senior year in HS). I ran camera, developed slides, drew the weather map features with a magic marker on glass, and posted the forecast with plastic letters on a felt board (I learned the hard way how to spell tomorrow without two m's). I have ever since preferred radio production to tv, because the sets are easier to build.

I was 10 years old at the time. I did not find out until the next morning. I was on vacation at my grandparents house on Cape Cod. ( My mom was orginally from Boston.) My grandmother always watched The Today Show. I came downstairs. One of the reporters from NBC was live in Memphis. I asked my grandmother what happened,she replied Elvis Presley died. I was stunned by the news. I have become a hugh Elvis fan over the last two decades. Elvis Radio on Sirius is one of my favorite channels. I would have loved to been old enough to seen him peform at those legendary shows @The Las Vegas Hilton from 1969-1976.

Well, i was not even a thought in my mom's eye when they announced it. 1977, and i was born 11 years later. My older brother wasn't even born yet.
