On Friday at 1:15 p.m. in the David Letterman Communication and Media Building’s lobby, Department of Telecommunications will show the live CBS news coverage from John F. Kennedy’s assassination.
Stan Sollars, a telecommunications instructor, said the main point of the showing is to demonstrate how the television coverage unfolded 50 years ago.
“It’s going to be played back to the second of when it was broadcast 50 years ago,” Sollars said. “It’s kind of a resonance of time just right there with that. We are looking at the same thing people were watching 50 years ago right to the second.”
Sollars initially got the idea a couple of years ago when he discovered that the 50th anniversary falls on a Friday, like it did the day of the assassination. Steve Bell, a professor emeritus of telecommunications, and Phil Bremen, an associate professor of telecommunications, joined Sollars to help with the project.
Sollars said although they won’t talk about the conspiracy theories, they will talk about the media and political landscape briefly.
