On this day in 1963, CBS news anchor Walter Cronkite was standing over the newswire machine when a bulletin broke announcing that President Kennedy
had been shot. The network was 10 minutes into a live broadcast of a soap
opera, but at Cronkite’s insistence the news division broke in with audio
updates.  At 2:38 p.m., Cronkite wept on air when he made the official announcement that President John F. Kennedy was dead.
