killed 39 years today

Soo frickin tragic!

Another one we lost way too soon. So sad. The man who killed was Mark David Chapman who is still in jail apparently. He was frustrated with Lennon's lifestyle. ????? I that a reason to kill someone???

NBC Network - The Today Show - "Lennon Murdered" (Complete Network Broadcast, 12/9/1980)

This is the complete network feed broadcast from the Today Show on NBC on the morning after John Lennon was murdered. It is the complete 2 hour broadcast, but this is the network feed, so it is missing the local cutaway elements and local commercials. (has black, blank space during these parts)

(Note: One small section of music had to be muted a bit - "Hello Goodbye" excerpted starting at 10:24)

This aired on local Chicago TV on Tuesday, December 9th 1980 during the 7:00am to 9:00am timeframe.

About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:

The Museum of Classic Chicago Television's primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s and early 80s, primarily) recorded off of any and all Chicago TV channels; footage which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical purposes. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to DVD, and to view more of the 4,700+ (and counting) video clips available for viewing in our online archive, please visit us at: https://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fuzzymemories.tv%2Findex.php%3Fcontentload%3Ddonate&v=8zrcbfSUOZI&event=video_description&redir_token=Jj-7ZS0C1HWztclW07rideypPal8MTU3Njk5OTE0NUAxNTc2OTEyNzQ1
