SUNDAY's show begins with the shooting of LEE HARVEY OSWALD and a press conference to detail the charges against OSWALD (although he had already been shot) on SUNDAY, NOV. 24th, 1963. It is followed by a moving description of the funeral procession, Mass and burial of Pres. KENNEDY on MONDAY, NOV. 25th, 1963, and concludes with the transition to regular WBAP programming on NOV. 26th, 1963.
