Notice, at 7:03, while NBC's coverage of the events in Dallas was broadcast in black and white, a COLOR image of local newsman Charles Murphy was "accidentally" transmitted from affiliate WBAP-TV in Dallas/Ft. Worth. One of the RARE moments during the network's complete coverage that anything was colorcast; in those days, only a handful of color shows, mostly on film or videotape, were scheduled on the network. NBC News itself wouldn't begin colorcasting their programs until the fall of 1965.
You didnt even have to be around back then to see what a horrible day this was.
