Subject: RE: Folklore: UK TV - the Day Kennedy died
I remember it very clearly. The news of the death came through in early evening UK time. BBC TV had stopped normal programs while news of the shooting was being reported. Then they announced the death, whereupon the news program came to an end and the screen reverted to the rotating globe for about 15 - 20 minutes, then the next program (the Harry Worth Show) came on, which somehow seemed less than appropriate.
