I was at work. Those were the days before the FCC started breaking up the Radio-TV station groups, so we were still one TV/AM/FM company. The top of the hour news had just finished on the Radio, and the announcer (it was my immediate boss, actually, who was very much a fan of the whole space program, too) had switched from the National news feed to music (we were a Country format at the time), when someone came running up from the TV side, calling 'switch back, switch back! The shuttle....' I think half the station personnel ended up crowded into the TV monitor room in shocked silence for the next six hours.... Some of us tried to work, but I don't think a lot got done. One of the TV Sales guys (Don?) was related to Judy Resnick -- cousin, I think.
