You all gotta remember something here. This date was the day on which President Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon. As I have understood things, coverage started sometime around 9-10 a.m. ET, or something, at least about the time when some people were leaving home to go to Sunday School and church worship. The only evidence I have of a pre-emption, though, was that CBS News carried a one-hour wrap-up at 6 p.m. ET of the event and reaction to it, via the Vanderbilt TV News Archives: http://tvnews.vanderbilt.edu/TVN-pr...n&NewsSegments=on&SortOrder=Forward&RC=834490.

Any of you older folks remember seeing Ford's speech live, and what exact time of the morning it happened?
