It was on 30 April 1975, 29 April in the United States, that Saigon fell, ending the Vietnam War. Evening and some daytime network programs were pre-empted for special news reports about the developments in Vietnam and the evacuation that the American Embassy had organised from Saigon. As I’m going to be moving the weekend of the 29th, I’m posting the listings tonight.
