Newsman Sam Pate was in KBOX mobile news unit number 4 at the rear of the motorcade - NOPE
Sam was at Love Field when the plane arrived. Then went to Stemmons Freeway by the Trade Mart, where he was reporting from the mobile unit, based on what he heard on the police Radio in the unit.
while newsman Ron Jenkins (McAlister) patiently waited in KBOX unit #6 on Stemmons Freeway, just above the Triple Underpass, through which the presidential motorcade was to pass out of Dealey Plaza on its route to the Trade Mart. - Nope
Ron was having lunch somewhere off Industrial, then headed to parkland. Ron Missed the initial report.
KBOX news director Bill Hampton and newsmen Dick Moore and Karl King were staffing the KBOX newsroom at 12:30 PM when all hell broke loose. - NOPE
Bill Hampton was not at the station until later.
Sam Pate said him and Karl King were fired for budget reasons right after the assassination.- NOPE
King was chewed out for leaving the mic feeding the AP wire and tying up the line. Sam was fired for budgets reasons, but the truth is Hampton lost his cool and over reacted. Sam was hired back when Coolpix records called Hampton and wanted recordings
from that day. Funny how that worked out.
