Marking the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Death of JFK on Mushroom Escape

On Friday November 22, the world will pause to mark the 50th anniversary of 
the shocking and tragic assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. 
On Mushroom Escape, we often bring you radio from the past, exactly as it 
aired then, complete with commercials and station identification. There are 
literally thousands of documentaries about what happened on that fateful day 
in Dallas. But in typical Mushroom Escape fashion, we’ll be marking this 
anniversary by bringing you the events as they were broadcast live 50 years 
ago. Mushroom Escape will be suspending regular programming at midnight 
Eastern on Friday 22 November, for 24 hours of radio coverage of the Kennedy 
assassination. We’ll begin with beautifully preserved audio of WBAP in 
Dallas. We’ll hear some of their morning drive show, complete with news and 
commercials, and coverage of President Kennedy’s arrival in Dallas. You’ll 
hear how the story broke, and then we’ll hear network coverage broadcast on 
WBAP from NBC. This riveting audio lasts around nine hours. Next, we’ll hear 
how the day unfolded on another Dallas radio icon, Big D, KLIF in Dallas. 
This upbeat top 40 station, complete with 60’s-style reverb and jingles from 
the Dallas-based PAMS, was a huge Dallas phenomenon. They also prided 
themselves on their breaking news coverage. The quality of this audio is the 
weakest of our three features, but its historical significance makes up for 
this, and it is captivating. Finally, we’ll switch to coverage from WCCO in 
MINNEAPOLIS. While this may seem like a peculiar choice, we’re running this 
audio because for the most part, it contains beautifully preserved audio of 
the CBS network coverage. This coverage is both highly professional, and 
incredibly moving. The entire compilation of material we’ve selected runs a 
little short of 16 hours, at which point we’ll begin a replay until midnight 
Eastern time, when normal Mushroom Escape programming will resume. The 
Kennedy assassination not only represents one of the most shocking events in 
20th century American history, but it also represents a coming of age of 
breaking news. After considerable research and careful selection, what we 
have for you this Friday is truly special. Join us at midnight Eastern on 
the 22nd, 5 AM in the UK, for Kennedy Assassination coverage, as it 
happened. Bruce Toews, Operations Manager Mushroom Escape
