Networks clash with sponsors in landmark news coverage
AP TV-Radio writer Cynthia Lowery notes how during the JFK cabinet announcement and aviation disaster coverage on Friday, CBS NBC and other networks interrupted regular programming for live reports. NBC aired an unsold pilot while Firestone briefly sponsored CBS’s cabinet special, illustrating the tension between news urgency and commercial interests. Dina Merrill will host the Inaugural Ball coverage, Tack Paar plans a Florida vacation, and Buster Keaton’s Candid Camera segment drew praise despite the shift in schedules.
