Election Returns
Last half hour of the 1948 "Presidential Election Returns" coverage. Kinescope recording begins at 11:10 a.m., Nov. 3, 1948. [...] Bill Brooks, NBC's news veepee; Al Schneider, NBC's director of television news; Bill Garden, producer-director, and all the crew, as well as the announcing and interviewing staffs of WNBT, can take well-earned bows for their efforts. [...] this NBC-Life team-up on the Truman-Dewey battle will go down in TV history as one of the medium's most successful efforts. WNBT was the only station to carry the election from 9 p.m., Tuesday evening, uninterruptedly right thru to 11:38 Wednesday morning. [...] Joe Csida (Billboard, Dec. 1, 1951)
