There was around 55 hours of coverage total, at least on the part of CBS. The other networks were probably the same.

This also included recaps and concerts.

I never regarded it as overkill. The coverage of the horrendous 9/11 tended towards it.

It's not accurate. That is a 1962-63 schedule. JFK died that fall, so it would be the 63-4 season. duffyduff Nov 2013 #6
