'November 22, 1963, Dallas, TX. As reports of "shots fired at the presidential motorcade" came into the newsroom, Charles Murphy, a local TV news anchorman, in a Fort Worth studio, found himself thrust into the national spotlight, broadcasting live to the nation on the NBC television network. As White House and local reporters in the motorcade scrambled for pay phones in Dallas, Murphy was able to confirm details about the president's death, the shooting of officer JD Tippit, and the arrest of Lee Harvey Oswald live from the Fort Worth newsroom of WBAP television. Murphy offers a detailed minute by minute account of the assassination, and the inside story of how NBC news covered the news story that changed television news coverage for ever.'
