Wow. I had recently turned 20 years old, and, almost 5 months into a 4 year stint in the military, back home for 30 days after training school when this broadcast. Listened to Ron Chapman from his beginnings at KLIF through his retirement at KLUV. Of course, I was gone Oct '70-summer '74, but, home early Feb '71 for 30 days, so, I may have listened to this broadcast.😁 Weird.

Thank you for posting this. Was it recorded from over the air broadcast?

Can you name a few reporters in 1963? I'm looking for one who may have gone to Parkland Hospital after JFK got shot. Did KVIL do their own broadcasts on November 22, 1963 or did they carry live feed from another station? Thanks.

Do you mean from the board at the station...?

Probably off air. I don't know if Ben Laurie is still on the radio, but Mitch Carr (from the same era) still works for KRLD and is sometimes heard on KLUV, doing news.

20 degrees at night. Yep, that's Texas
