WKNR 11/22/1963: MUTUAL BROADCASTING BULLETINS
MUTUAL RADIO BULLETINS * WKNR (Mutual affiliate) * NOVEMBER 22, 1963
01:40 P.M., EST., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1963
THE MUTUAL RADIO NETWORK
___
At approximately 1:36 p.m., EST (12:36 p.m., CST; Dallas time), Don Gardiner of ABC News in New York first broke the airways nationwide with a FLASH news bulletin President Kennedy had been shot in Dallas, over the ABC Radio Network (WXYZ; Detroit).
Almost immediately following the ABC report, the CBS (WJR; Detroit) and NBC (WWJ; Detroit) radio networks broke in with bulletins approximately 1:38 p.m. EST. The Mutual Broadcasting System (WKNR; Detroit) began picking up the news feed pouring out of Dallas, breaking radio programming with flash bulletins covering Mutual affiliates nationwide, four-minutes later. Time approximately 1:40 p.m., Detroit time.
By 1:45 to 2:00 p.m., virtually every station on the dial (with the exception of WJLB who had not suspended their Friday scheduled programming) would cease all commercial radio programming in Detroit, and thereafter would remain under the news control of the three major news networks coming out of New York — including the Mutual Network — during those four days, November 22-25, 1963.
