efan2011Again: SPOILER ALERT! This was after the race was called.
Well it might not be the full coverage, but this is the next best thing. This is a short clip after ABC called the race. You will get to hear from Howard K. Smith and Bill Lawrence (In His last Election coverage for ABC).
One of the positives of this clip is that the coverage is out there somewhere, I just need to find it.

There are no commercials in this set of clips, so sorry folks!WLAC 5 Local Break 1efan20112012-02-14 | Here is the first local break from the CBS Station in Nashville. It's kind of cool and funny to see how much TV has changed in 44 years!Election Night 1968 CBS News Part 1efan20112012-02-14 | Here is the first part of the election coverage from CBS. This is in Black and White of course, and don't complain about it, we are lucky this is around! They follow in a more slower pace than the NBC coverage I have, and it's interesting to see the differences. Cronkite is the lead anchor of course and the same crew from 1972 is in this coverage as well. Theodore White's in this coverage as well, but is not as involved as he was in the 1976 coverage I also have uploaded.
There are commercials with this set of coverage unlike my NBC coverage. There are also some local breaks as well. I hope to have the first part of the NBC coverage done tonight or tomorrow.Huntley Brinkley Report- Election Night 1968efan20112012-02-13 | Here is the evening news report from Election Night 1968. This was the last time Huntley Brinkley anchored a Presidential Election, they anchored every election of the decade during the 1960's, and possibly the 1956 election as well, but I have no past evidence to prove it. The two were greats at what they did, but I think by this point they did not get along as good as they did in 1960. Huntley would leave two years later and the Brinkley became the editorial man of the NBC Nightly News, with John Chancellor.
The studio has improved greatly since the 1960 coverage, with each state getting it's own board plus the ablity to project a state by their computers. There coverage is way faster than the CBS coverage I also have. I have not seen the ABC coverage as of yet, but it looks simple compared to the other two. I will do dual uploads of the coverage of CBS and NBC until about 11:00, when the Vanderbuilt Coverage ends and the NBC coverage continues. You will all see when I get there. Enjoy this clip first!Humphreys 1968 DNC Acceptance Speechefan20112012-02-12 | Here is Vice President Humphrey's acceptance speech from that turbulent and wild convention in August 1968.
He was very much the establishment candidate in '68, and was the favorite through the race after President Johnson quit. He might not have been the most popular choice in '68 but he did come close to winning, which might have been the closest anyone could have come that year, but it depends on which history expert you ask. Humphrey does seem like a nice guy however.A look back at the 1968 Democratic Conventionefan20112012-02-12 | Here is a report from 1984 about the 1968 Convention with Linda Ellerbee and John Hart featured in the piece. This does a good job at summarizing the madness of the Convention, but does make a major mistake at talking about the VP nomination. The piece claims Julian Bond was nominated but he was not due to the fact he was too young to legally serve. But I wanted to clear that out.1968 Republican Convention Roll Call-Radio Coverageefan20112012-02-06 | I was lucky to find this online, which was longer than I expected to be honest. This is the nominating roll call from the 1968 Republican Convention, in which Nixon won the nomination. I found some pictures online to go with the sounds of the convention
I also created a color coded map that shows up at the end: Blue for Nixon, Red for Reagan, Green for Rockefeller, Yellow for Romney, and black for favorite sons. Enjoy!Super Bowl XLVI Tributeefan20112012-02-05 | I decided to take a break from my usual videos to upload this video since today's Super Bowl Sunday!
This is a tribute I made last night to today's game, which should be epic like the first one was. I choose the old school NFL on NBC theme, which I wish would be played during the game tonight, but I doubt it. Good Luck to both teams and i hope you all enjoy!Nixons 1968 RNC Acceptance Speechefan20112012-02-04 | Here is Nixon's Acceptance Speech from the 68 RNC. He was the man to beat in 68...
I also have radio coverage of the roll call that I will upload here in a bit.ABC News January 1968efan20112012-02-01 | Now this a good treat right here. I believe this a full broadcast of the ABC Evening News from January 1968. ABC Went through a lot of changes in 1968, the year started with Bob Young as the anchorman, he took over for Peter Jennings in late 1967 after the failed experiment. But he was unaffected and boring, and Young served through to at least May or June, then Frank Reynolds took over for his first stint, which lasted until December 1970. Young covered the assassination of MLK and Reynolds took over for the assassination of RFK and the election, but did not anchor the election night coverage, that was Howard K. Smith's job.
The main story of this is about disgareemnts between the US and North Korea, and how President Johnson responds to it. There are some other stories, a commentary, and even an ad included as well!
I hope you all enjoy!Tom Brokaws Summary of the 1968 Electionefan20112012-01-31 | Here is the first video of my new series of 1968, This will be the first video of a series to come.
