I was in Dallas last Thanksgiving during the 45th anniversary of the Kennedy Assassination.<div>All the TV stations were airing retrospectives with local anchormen telling their stories and lots of quad tape recorded at the time.</div>
<div>I don't recall the reporter's name but he went live on the air and had them roll tape well before the networks were covering it. The Sixth Floor Museum ( <a href="http://www.jfk.org/">http://www.jfk.org/</a> )has a lot of that material on display, and is a fascinating tour if you're ever in Dallas.</div>

I'm resending this since no one has responded; maybe it was overlooked! If anyone has the answers, I'd sure like to know!<br>

I suspected that the source was probably the time zone delay recording, as<br>
the break-in to the soap is on the tape (is it As the World Turns?).<br>
<br>
I'm wondering why a kinnie was made at all, and under what circumstances.<br>
Was it being made simultaneously with the VT for a backup to the time zone<br>
delay, or was it made FROM the VT at a later date for some purpose?<br>
<br>
I believe the tape of NBC's Kennedy coverage begins around 20 minutes into<br>
the coverage because it took a while to get their machines up and running.<br>
Does anyone know if this is true, and is there perhaps a kinescope source<br>
for those missing 20 minutes?<br>
