[BC] "Breaking News" Interruptions

[Sid Schweiger]

>>Not everything has to be an on-location talking head to communicate,
although TV seems unable to cope otherwise. In these cases it is the
message NOT the medium that is important.<<

One of the more famous bulletins in TV broadcast history ("In Dallas,
Texas, three shots were fired at President Kennedy's motorcade...") was
delivered by Walter Cronkite from a radio studio because CBS had no
means of airing an on-camera news flash at the time.  As far as I can
tell, it get the message out without any extraneous bells and whistles.
