A live 1949 broadcast of a failed rescue attempt of a child - Kathy Fiscus - who had fallen down a well in Los Angeles made TV history. The limited technology of that time made such live coverage of news events difficult. This radio interview by Patt Morrison of KPCC was made on the 60th anniversary of the 1949 broadcast.
