On nOVEMBER 22, 1963, CbS
interrupted its live broadcast of the
soap opera As the World Turns with
a news bulletin from Walter Cronkite
announcing that President John F.
Kennedy had been shot. Nearly an hour
later came an even more unthinkable
bulletin confirming that our nation’s
promising young President had died.
President Kennedy’s assassination
was a defining historical moment of
the 20th century—and the four days of
network television coverage chronicling
the tragedy and its aftermath represent
some of the most moving and memorable
moments in broadcast history.
thIRtEEN commemorates the 50th
anniversary of President Kennedy’s
death with specials exploring his life
and legacy, continuing our tradition
of presenting timely, informative, and
enlightening history programming.
Secrets of the Dead: JFK: One PM
Central Standard Time (Wed 13th, 10
p.m.) tells the story of two men: the
President of the United States—shot in
Dallas and rushed to Parkland hospital,
his fate unknown—and CbS anchor
Walter Cronkite, who had to get the story
right amid the uncertainties of that tragic
day. Narrated by George Clooney and
featuring an interview with President bill
Clinton, the special recounts the riveting
story of the reporting from Dallas
and the CbS Newsroom in New York
from the moment President Kennedy
was shot until Cronkite's emotional
pronouncement of his death at one
PM Central Standard time. It features
archival footage of President Kennedy
and Cronkite, and memories from the
producers, writers, and reporters who
were there on that fateful day, including
Dan Rather, bob Schieffer, Marvin Kalb,
and Marianne Means.
JFK (Mon 11th and tue 12th, 9 p.m.), the
latest film in the American Experience series
The Presidents, offers a fresh assessment
of the enigmatic man, featuring interviews
with Kennedy family members and noted
historians. Forensic experts shed new light
on the assassination in NOVA: Cold Case
JFK (Wed 13th, 9 p.m.), while Frontline
asks, Who Was Lee Harvey Oswald? (tue
19th, 10 p.m.).
PBS NewsHour (weeknights, 7 p.m.)
will air a report on former anchors
Robert MacNeil and Jim Lehrer and their
coverage of the assassination. And tune
in to MetroFocus (thursdays, 8:30 p.m.)
for a special interview with Dan Rather,
the first reporter to break the news of
President Kennedy’s assassination.
