#13851: FIVE STAR NEWS WITH KEVIN KENNEDY FROM WPIX-TV CHANNEL 11 IN NEW YORK CITY
1962-10-25, WPIX, 10 min.
FIVE STAR NEWS with anchor Kevin Kennedy was a WPIX TV weekday 10 minute presentation telecast from 11:50am - Noon. The broadcast would open with catchy instrumental theme song with the following introduction: "Good Morning. Kevin Kennedy with Five Star News." Topics: John Steinbeck wins the Nobel prize for literature. He is interviewed on location by John Tillman. Sixty year old Steinbeck describes his astonished reaction and feelings related to this prestigious award. A report on the Cuban missile crisis, Cubans continue missile buildup on the island, Adlai Stevenson and Russian diplomat Valerian Zorin in a row at the UN Security Council today, a heated exchange, Stevenson shows aerial photos of Cuban missile sites. The Carrier Enterprise leads a naval interception armada. NOTE: It is interesting that in 1962 TV news broadcasting still injected into their news stories dramatic "canned" dramatic music to accompany a news segment as demonstrated by the story related to the Carrier Enterprise naval interception armada. NOTE: Anchor Kevin Kennedy would also do the news for WPIX weekdays at 7:00pm to 7:10pm preceding a fifteen newscast anchored by John Tillman (7:10-7:25pm).#13935: WORLD TODAY
