The Kennedy Assassination TV Guide Quiz

This quiz is a TV Guide quiz based on the Kennedy Assassination TV Guide "America's Long Vigil" (1/25-31/64).  I've been collecting this particular edition from around the country, and I'm using it to capture a "snapshot" of North American TV in 1964.   I've created this quiz based on the editions of this issue I have collected over the years.  Although I'm basing these questions on this particular issue, other issues from this timeframe should help you answer the questions.

The contest is now over, so now the quiz is here for fun! For the answers Click Here

Good Luck and have fun!!!
