Kennedy's assassination in Dallas will generate a major national media presence in the city next month. Dan Rather's CBS Evening News and Peter Jennings' World News Tonight on ABC are scheduled to originate from Dallas on Friday, Nov. 21, the eve of the anniversary. Mr. Jennings also will anchor from Dallas on Nov. 20 as a prelude to that night's two-hour prime-time special, Peter Jennings Reporting: The Kennedy Assassination – Beyond Conspiracy. Plans for the NBC Nightly News are still in formation, spokeswoman Barbara Levin said. But the network's Weekend Today will be telecast live from The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza on Nov. 22. Weekend Today co- anchor Lester Holt also will file a live report from Dallas during the Nov. 21 Today show. The Nov. 21 edition of ABC's The View won't originate from Dallas, but it will include an interview with Nellie Connally, who rode in the Kennedy motorcade with her late husband, Texas Gov. John Connally. Numerous other networks will have special reports tied to the assassination, with CNN beginning the anniversary week with a Nov. 16 special, President Kennedy Has Been Shot. The program will feature recollections from several prominent TV journalists who covered the assassination, including Mr. Rather, Walter Cronkite, Bob Schieffer, Robert MacNeil and Ike Pappas. Mr. Jennings, who covered the assassination for Canadian television, also will participate in a locally produced town hall meeting while in Dallas. The program, intended to focus on topics other than the Kennedy assassination, will air at a later date on ABC affiliate WFAA-TV (Channel 8).
