[QuadList] Videotape of CBS Kennedy assassination

[Sammy Jones]

David says:
"When A&E ran the 20th anniversary show of NBC's coverage for six hours in 
real time, Edwin Newman hosted, and reported that it took a certain amount
of 
time to get tape rolling in New York. No, I have never seen a tape or kine 
as in a Burbank recording of that "gap". All of NYC's coverage was in black 
and white. However, the switch to WBAPs coverage with late breaking updates,

was in color for a few times, until NBC made it black and white after about 
an hour. Apparently NBC was embarrassed that the network coverage was black 
and white and WBAP's feed was color, so I've heard."

David, you beat me to the punch on this!

I thought it was a little funny that the network stuff was in black and
white, while WBAP was in color!  Does anybody know exactly what the problems
were the first couple of times NBC tried to receive WBAP's feed?
