The D-Day Special in Real Time
For 48 hours starting Thursday at
12:00am through Friday at midnight (eastern) Radio Once More
will present broadcast coverage of the D-Day Invasion. We'll
begin with back ground information
between Midnight and 2:00am and then continuous coverage
will begin. We are keeping the coverage
as close to real time as possible. There are gaps in
both the CBS and NBC radio recordings.
We will feature
the NBC coverage and fill in with CBS material as needed
to keep the timeline. At
the header of each
segment below you will see either (NBC in real time) or
(Montage of NBC and CBS Coverage).
The first means that complete
coverage exists for that time frame and second means that we have filled in
with CBS
coverage. This is as close as we can get to a true "real time"
presentation.
