On 22 November 1963, the "CBS Morning News" ran a five-minute feature on Beatlemania in the UK which heavily featured "She Loves You". The evening's scheduled repeat was cancelled following the assassination of John F. Kennedy the same day and the four days' worth of news coverage that followed. On 10 December, Walter Cronkite decided to transmit the piece again on the "CBS Evening News", and the resulting interest led to the rush-release of "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and – only weeks before the Beatles' arrival – a US commercial breakthrough.
