I know Granada's breaking of the news still exists too, I think they were the first to break it in the UK, during a regional magazine programme of some sort, then the presenters understandably switched to JFK when the news broke.
I have in fact shared the video of the recording of Granada breaking the news over on the ITN Nostalgia thread, because I wrongly believed it was an ITN production.
I know this is not actually a TV recording but I wanted to share it anyway, this is a rare recording from WRUL, this was a privately owned shortwave radio station, it carried CBS Radio and ABC Radio coverage. It was a unique opportunity for people around the world to listen to domestic radio coverage
