THE MAKING OF THE PRESIDENT 1960 (1963) @DavidVonPeinJFK

David Von Peins JFK Channel David L. Wolper's documentary film "THE MAKING OF THE PRESIDENT 1960", narrated by Martin Gabel, gives viewers a close-up look at the inner workings of the 1960 campaign for President of the United States, a hard-fought struggle which was won (just barely) by Massachusetts Senator John F. Kennedy.

The film made its debut on ABC-TV on December 29, 1963, just a month after JFK's death.

Directed by Mel Stuart, who also helmed another very fine David Wolper-produced film about President Kennedy -- 1964's "Four Days In November".

WTIC-RADIO; HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT (NOVEMBER 22, 1963)

David Von Peins JFK Channel 2024-02-14 | I'm re-posting this WTIC video in order to correct an error that appears in my first version of this video that I uploaded in 2013. Doug Bertel, the original producer of this WTIC video, has posted some info on his YouTube channel that probably clears up the mystery as to why WTIC seemingly didn't broadcast its first bulletin of the Dallas shooting until about 1:55 PM (EST). It's because the "Mikeline" call-in program really began at 1:15 PM (EST) instead of 1:29 PM, which is the time that I had previously thought was the correct starting time.

So, with the starting time correctly moved up by 14 minutes, it puts the first WTIC bulletin at about 1:41 PM, instead of 1:55 PM. Plus, there seems to be about 14 minutes of audio missing from the recording, beginning 3 minutes after the first bulletin (there's a noticeable edit/splice at the 29:39 mark in the video).

------------------------

This WTIC material is a fascinating piece of audio, as it demonstrates just how ordinary the day was on November 22, 1963, prior to all hell breaking loose with the terrible news from Dallas, Texas, about President Kennedy being cut down by an assassin.

Prior to the first bulletin being read on WTIC-Radio in Hartford, Connecticut, the radio call-in show that was being aired on WTIC was filled with average, unremarkable topics such as cake recipes, dog clipping, and trash can liners. Then came the first bulletin from Dallas. And the world changed forever.

60th ANNIVERSARY JFK SPECIAL! 12 HOURS OF 11/22/63 REAL-TIME COVERAGE FROM CINCINNATIS WLW-RADIO

David Von Peins JFK Channel 2023-11-22 | 12 hours of real-time programming that was heard on radio station WLW in Cincinnati, Ohio, on the day of President Kennedy's assassination (Friday, November 22, 1963), beginning shortly before 5:00 AM, Eastern Standard Time.

NOTE --- This video would have been 17+ hours long if YouTube would have permitted a video of that length to be uploaded. But YouTube's current "length" limit for a single video is 12 hours. To hear the remaining 5+ hours of 11/22/63 WLW coverage that I have in my collection, go to the link at the bottom of this message.

This WLW material, more than any other video that I have in my extensive collection, demonstrates for the listener just how "ordinary" the day truly was throughout the morning hours of November 22nd prior to the terrible news coming from Dallas. This video (audio) is probably the closest we could ever hope to get to traveling in a time machine.

Click the link below to see a brief summary of the audio programming contained in this fascinating video, plus a little of the history behind how I was able to obtain this WLW material in 2008:

NOTE --- This video is missing a total of 1 hour and 14 minutes of programming between 10:11 AM and 11:25 AM (EST). The missing audio is beyond my control. It just simply was not there when I received my MP3 copies of this material back in 2008.
