Last night on my Public TV channel, there was an excellent documentary "JFK: Breaking the News" which explained how broadcast journalism was changed forever by this event. Hopefully it will be rerun, so watch it, if you can.
There is also a special tonight at 9:00 EST hosted by Peter Jennings which supposedly will take a bit of a different slant to it. It looks interesting so you might want to catch that.

I didn't see the program you refer to but I do agree that this changed so many things forever in this country. I do believe that the networks had live coverage around the clock for the first time I ever remembered seeing. I still remember the sounds of those drums as the funeral procession made its way down the street. Gives me chills just remembering.
