CBS & CBC Relive JFK Assassination 60 Yrs. Later
It was a seminal moment in history and its effects, including a mistrust of government and the moment TV news came of age, are still with us today. Many people associate Walter Cronkite with the event, and CBS News takes a look back at that fateful day in Dallas six decades later.

Just found this: How the CBC covered it. The anchor who makes the dramatic announcement about JFK's death is someone named Lamont Tilden. Can't say I've ever heard of him, but he helped make history that day.

I'm older than you Radio Active; therefore I do remember Mr. Tilden very well. Excellent reporter and TV anchor.

It doesn't say what time it runs today. At least I can't find it.

While I'm sure all the networks will do something because it's the 60th (and media love even numbers) the CBS piece is actually embedded in the webpage. It's really from the 50th anniversary but they've updated it slightly for the next decade since not much has changed in the interim years. You should be able to watch their report by clicking the link.
And thanks for the note about Lamont Tilden. It's the first time I've heard of him, and I'm glad to know you think he was good on air. Your praise means a lot in my eyes, but I must have been too young (or watching Uncle Walter) because I can honestly say I've never heard of him.
