What's on TV? Monday, March 25, 1963

Something you see with a certain degree of frequency in issues from this era: shows interrupted by news updates. You'll note this tonight half an hour into the broadcast of The Steve Allen Show on WPIX; in other issues, you've probably noticed movies that also had news breaks in them, and these aren't just news headlines or one-minute updates; they usually run ten (in this case) or fifteen minutes. Do you think people have the attention span for something like this today, or would they get itchy fingers on the remote? (I'd probably fall into that latter category.) All this and more, in this week's New York City Edition.
