Supposedly the first TV news broadcast was on November 21st, 1963. But
I recall CBS News had a report in December (much shorter).

Um, just for the record, there was plenty of news on
TV by 1963.

I don't think I'd ever heard of the Beatles before one
of my roommates brought home the 45 of "She Loves
You" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand" sometime in the
auturmn of 1963, which I and both my roommates
(college graduates all) instantly went nuts over.
But of course that's because none of us had any
taste in music...
