NBC Live radio coverage of the 1960 Presidential Election returns between Senator John F. Kennedy and Vice-President Richard M. Nixon. This rare archived off the air recording begins with 4% of the vote counted. Commercials during this radio broadcast are included. The 1960 United States presidential election was the 44th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 8, 1960. The Democratic ticket of Senator John F. Kennedy and, his running mate, Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson narrowly defeated the Republican ticket of incumbent Vice President Richard Nixon and his running mate, U.N. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. This was the first election in which 50 states participated, marking the first participation of Alaska and Hawaii, and the last in which the District of Columbia did not. This made it the only presidential election where the threshold for victory was 269 electoral votes. It was also the first election in which an incumbent president—in this case, Dwight D. Eisenhower—was ineligible to run for a third term because of the term limits established by the 22nd Amendment.

Live NBC TELEVISION coverage (APPROXIMATELY NINE HOURS), November 5th and 6th of the 1968 Presidential election returns. Local returns are aired at different intervals. The 1968 United States presidential election was the 46th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 5, and continues into the am hours November 6, 1968. The Republican nominee, former vice president Richard Nixon, defeated both the Democratic nominee, incumbent vice president Hubert Humphrey, and the American Independent Party nominee, former Alabama governor George Wallace. NOTE: YOU TUBE has posted 216 minutes of NBC TV coverage in 11 parts. Some of the video and audio is excellent but continuity is missing, reducing the Deja Vu experience of reliving a time when television would carry live Presidential Election Returns in prime time all through the night and continuing the following morning until final tallies were totaled. NOTE: The three major entertainment repository museums, The Library of Congress, UCLA Film & Television Museum, and The Paley Center for Media, all have no footage (Kinescopes, Video Tapes, Audio Tracks) of this broadcast in their archives.1968-11-05, NBC, min.
