Summary: TVC 627.2: From November 2013: Phil Gries of Archival Television Audio recalls the moment, circa 1988, when he realized that he had something that NBC did not have—the audio of the first four minutes of the network’s national news coverage of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963—and his decision to go public with that discovery, first to NBC News, then to the Library of Congress. Audio highlights this segment include the first news bulletin, read by Don Pardo (then-booth announcer for WNBC, the NBC affiliate in New York) at approximately 1:45pm ET on Nov. 22, 1963, announcing the shooting of President Kennedy.
