It was at 12:30 that President John F. Kennedy and Texas Governor John Connally were shot in Dallas’ Dealey Plaza. The first network bulletin about the shooting interrupted “As the World Turns” on CBS at exactly 12:40; although NBC and ABC fed bulletins shortly afterwards, neither network were actually feeding scheduled programming to their Eastern and Central Time Zone affiliates during that half-hour. By 1:00, all scheduled programming would be scratched and replaced with wall-to-wall coverage of the assassination. Although it’s not known if WMVS and WHA-TV took CBS up on their offer to carry their coverage, it’s most likely that WUHF carried ABC’s coverage, since they also regularly carried ABC’s evening newscasts in Milwaukee (rejected by WITI) during this period.

Clay recited his comic poetry to promote his February 25th boxing match against then-Heavyweight Champion Sonny Liston, after which he changed his name to Muhammad Ali; Liberace provided piano accompaniment to Clay’s recitation. Kamen’s main contribution was a comic review of the movie Lawrence of Arabia. Taped on November 17th, this program was rescheduled for November 29th. Ironically enough, Liberace was scheduled to start a week of performances at a suburban Pittsburgh nightclub on November 22nd, as NBC was to have aired this tape, but the Kennedy assassination led to opening night being moved to the following night. During that postponed opening, Liberace was stricken by kidney failure, and afterwards was rushed to St. Francis General Hospital in Pittsburgh, where he was initially given a 20% chance of recovery. Liberace was still hospitalised when NBC finally ran this program the following Friday.)

10 Golden Years
18 Texas Rasslin’ (A syndicated hour from Ed McLemore’s Sportatorium promotion in Dallas, produced through KRLD-TV/4. WUHF ran this show six nights each week, with the current week’s show airing at 6:00 P.M. Saturdays and reruns from previous weeks in this Monday-thru-Friday slot. Upon McLemore’s death in 1969, the promotion was taken over by Fritz Von Erich and eventually became World Class Championship Wrestling.)

4/5/15 [COLOR] The Jack Paar Program (featured guests are Liberace, Cassius Clay and comic Milt Kamen. Clay recited his comic poetry to promote his February 25th boxing match against then-Heavyweight Champion Sonny Liston, after which he changed his name to Muhammad Ali; Liberace provided piano accompaniment to Clay’s recitation. Kamen’s main contribution was a comic review of the movie Lawrence of Arabia. Taped on November 17th, this program was rescheduled for November 29th. Ironically enough, Liberace was scheduled to start a week of performances at a suburban Pittsburgh nightclub on November 22nd, as NBC was to have aired this tape, but the Kennedy assassination led to opening night being moved to the following night. During that postponed opening, Liberace was stricken by kidney failure, and afterwards was rushed to St. Francis General Hospital in Pittsburgh, where he was initially given a 20% chance of recovery. Liberace was still hospitalised when NBC finally ran this program the following Friday.)
