BEGINS ONE WEEK FROM TODAY: FOUR DAYS, NOVEMBER 1963. WHEN NBC WWJ RADIO COVERED THE DEATH OF A PRESIDENT
_______________
This year marks 60 years having passed since President Kennedy’s assassination in Dallas, in November 1963.
In observation of those tragic four days, Motor City Radio Flashbacks will republish our November 2018 presentation through four days, November 22, 23, 24, and 25. At the time, the newly discovered WWJ November 1963 recordings, and for the first time anywhere, premiered on this site five years ago.
This year, Motor City Radio Flashbacks will feature a more expansive, WWJ coverage (from over 20 hours of recordings) along with an extensive photographic presentation. The selected photographs, found in the public domain, will be captioned by the author (totaling 48 images taken during that weekend) while showcasing the historic, Bob Pratt WWJ recordings (listen to the audio sampler below) from those four days.
The Kennedy Tapes. Sixty-years ago. When WWJ radio in Detroit covered the death of a President.
This exclusive four day presentation will launch approximately 1:30 p.m., E.S.T., beginning on Wednesday, November 22, 2023.
