This CBS broadcast has had portions been edited but that doesn't take away from its historic content.
The reporters were true professionals on the air, with excellent background and analysis, extremely well-written. Notable is Charlie Collingwood's report from the LST.
Bob Trout, known for his ability to ad-lib, seems to have taken a while to get untracked. Possibly, he was thrown a bit by the constant interruptions in the beginning or due to a lack of material. He tells the audience what had been heard without giving specifics (i.e., what the King of Norway said) and tells the listeners what he is going to do instead of doing it. Once he got settled in, he proved his abilities.
4a starts at 1:45 p.m. EWT. The anonymous CBS staff announcer introducing Doug Edwards and John Daly, and extroing Quincy Howe, is none other than Tony Marvin.
The FDR prayer aired at 10 p.m. EWT.
In this era of 24-hour TV news, it seems unreal that the network cut away from war coverage and aired its regular soap opera schedule.
It seems odd hearing the on-air people more often than not using the term "Columbia" instead of "CBS."
