why was it not shown until 1975?

No, only the arrival at Love Field was shown on local TV (WFAA). The rest was on film, and was telecast after the shooting. The Zapruder film was not shown on TV until 1975.

I was in first grade in Dallas this day and I remember the tv being on but I wasn't watching it.

The teacher ran into the room and turned off the tv and told us he'd been shot. I can't remember if the motorcade was being shown live on our tv that was on in the room. Does anyone know?
