It appears it (including footage of the frame Carcano) may have been broadcast on television "Sometime after 3.15 pm" (per below quote).

Really? First and foremost, the film that Alyea supposedly shot of Fritz handling the shells has never surfaced despite the fact that much of Alyea's unedited film was broadcast live on the afternoon of the assassination, and even more important, none of the non-broadcast sequences that have come to light since then show Fritz or anyone else handling the cartridge cases in the manner described by Alyea.
Second, Alyea's account is full of misstatements of fact. For instance, Alyea claimed that the crime lab wasn't called to the sixth floor for "over an hour after the window location had been found," and that it took Lt. J.C. Day and Detective Robert L. Studebaker another 15 to 20 minutes to arrive with their equipment. [Alyea, Tom, "JFK Facts: Chapter 2," undated, p.3]
Yet, by all other accounts, Day and Studebaker arrived within minutes of the discovery of the sniper's nest.

Back at the station Aylea's fim was being processed as quickly as it arrived most of it being broadcast unedited..Sometime after 3.15 pm the first Alyea film was telecast. ..The one minute 45 second sequence was not the first Tom had taken as it shows the rifle already discovered , as well as 15 other short sequences including the snipers nest scene. A short time later a 25 second additional segment was shown looking from the inside first floor entrance through the closed door at the two cops on the steps is also projected. All told WFAA broadcast Alyea's films some 5 separate occasions.
Not including replays some 34 scenes were shown, including views of the police on the street below and the spectators corralled below on the opposite side of Elm, near the reflecting pool area. The total none repeated film totalled 4 minutes..12 seconds. A David Wolper documentary film included five other short clips by Alyea not seen on the WFAA telecasts of 1963. These clips show an additional 14 seconds of film.
A still later televised series , "The Men Who Killed Kennedy" included additional film. Among these three sources are a total of 54 separate film clips of approximately 5 minutes 26 1/2 seconds duration , all identifiable to Alyea..The clips include several other views of the southeats corner of the 6th floor and views of the rifle prior to its being picked up by Lt. Day. Alyea shot all of his film amounting to some 500 feet. But at the station this precious film was not looked upon as of any historical documentation..or even as possible investigative use, It was part of a news package and would be edited, cut up, and shown only with only the concern of telling a breaking news story.....
Alyea increduously remembers, "The news director had a bunch of it burned and I said, "Bob, don't burn anything ---this is history, we don't know what's going on there..."..He said if we can't use it on the news get it out of here." So much film was piling up in the cramped editing room floor that the next day much of it was destroyed .Alyea recalls that in between assignments he would come in to have his new fim processed , and while there would pick up some of his discarded film, spin it on a reel and take it. He retained some of these clips, but bemoans the lose of other potentially historic film , "I could have shot Oswald coming out ---could have shown someone else coming out."
In Apri 1964...WFAA furnished to the FBI, upon it's request, a dub of all the segments which survived and could be identified as Alyea's..

Tom Aylea used a Bell & Howell 70 DR 16 mm camera, loaded with black and white film, it was an old camera and had the history of loosing the film loop when being operated. He also grabbed three extra cans of film along with the emergency roll he always carried in his back pocket. All told he had 500 feet of unprocessed film available to him. He and Ray John had been assigned on the 21st to cover the President's arrival and activities in Ft Worth.
While there around the Hotel Texas, his camera had broken down and he had been forced to borrow one, he returned it prior to his trip back to Dallas..The men took the WFAA news station wagon via Route 20 from Ft Worth to Dallas with John driving.
The afternoon of the 22nd was to be spent at the station processing the film for the evening news.
