Where were you when JFK was assassinated?

I had left KAAY studios (in Channel 11 building at that time), and was on the way to class at Little Rock University. I made a u-turn and headed back to the station where the news was flowing thick and fast. KAAY had no network affiliate at the time, but we were able to gather audio from all over. George J. Jennings, (news director at the time) was on his way to Dallas for Thanksgiving and just drove a little faster to get into the action. George started feeding stories as soon as he arrived. With all of this going on, to my knowledge no tape was saved.

Jim Pitcock wrote a JFK special about two hours, and most of the staff pitched in, with voice tracks and production. It was the best audio production I have ever been privileged to be a part of. Again, the tape has been lost.

Other stations did save tape and here are some links that might be interesting to you:
