At 4:46 of this clip, we hear a segment of a big-band remote from Los Angeles, obviously to fill time.

Today for a story this huge, the networks would have analysis until further details came in, and not go back to regular programming.

A great piece of historic sound.

It's my understanding that the major radio networks pre-empted regular programming for about 24 hours to cover the invasion.

And be sure to hear George Hicks' (ABC News, pooled and aired by all the networks) eyewitness account, which you can also find on You Tube.

In early 1942, year-round Daylight Savings Time was begun, and lasted until shortly after the end of WW2. It was officially referred to as War Time.
