Hello Jeff,

Yes, WFAA (just down the street from the School Book Deposit Repository) 
broke into a local show they were taping with their bulletins (and later with 
Abraham Zapruder with his camera). KRLD also later recorded events too (they 
had their truck at The Trade Mart). WBAP was in Ft. Worth with KTVT (their 
remote truck) for the Chamber of Commerce Breakfast (a tape we transferred 
here) the morning of November 22, 1963. KRLD and WBAP fed the network that 
afternoon (WBAP was in color) with reports. The next day, the three affiliates 
were in the Police Building when that all occurred (I transferred WBAP's 
version of the shooting).
