I was watching NBC and I think it was around 3pm the first photo of him entering the station was shown. I could be wrong. Maybe it was the Dallas coverage.

The WFAA-TV coverage video seems to be uninterrupted. The only film they had of Oswald before the 3:30 time of CBS's film was from the Texas Theater. And it didn't show enough of Oswald for anyone to recognize. So it does appear that CBS was first. And it fits the time frame for the search at the North Beckley address.

Mr. BELIN. Could you describe how you came to find out that this man had another name other than O. H. Lee?
Mr. JOHNSON. Well, it was when the officers came looking for him.
Mr. BELIN. When was this?
Mr. JOHNSON. Uh--after Tippit was shot, the police----
Mr. BELIN. This would have been on November 22, 1963?
Mr. JOHNSON. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. And can you state what happened?
Mr. JOHNSON. Well, they just came down there looking for--uh--Oswald.
Mr. BELIN. Did they say what his full name was?
Mr. JOHNSON. Yes, I believe they did.
Mr. BELIN. Lee Harvey Oswald?
Mr. JOHNSON. I believe they did.
Mr. BELIN. Did they say how they happened to come there?
Mr. JOHNSON. "Well, uh--after he was--uh--apprehended out there, they searched him and found my address in his pocket
Mr. BELIN. Your address of 1026 North Beckley?
Mr. JOHNSON. That's right.
Mr. BELIN. All right. What happened when the officers got there? They asked if Lee Harvey Oswald lived there?
Mr. JOHNSON. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. How long had you been at the house when the officers arrived?
Mr. JOHNSON. Oh, probably 30 minutes.
Mr. BELIN. Do you remember about what time of the day they arrived?
Mr. JOHNSON. Well, it must have been around 1:30 or 2 o'clock--the best I remember.

Sounds credible to me (not).

In "With Malice" by Dale Myers (Loc 5430 on my Kindle), I found the following:

3:10 P.M. -  WFAA and WBAP television in Dallas were broadcasting the first photograph of suspect Lee Harvey Oswald, take by AP photographer, Ferd Kaufman. The caption transmitted by the Associated Press, with the photograph, underscored the belief that Oswald was guilty of murdering Officer J.D. Tippit:

"Gunman kills policeman - Lee H. Oswald, 24, was arrested in Dallas today in connection with the slaying of a Dallas policeman shortly after President Kennedy was assassinated. He was also being interrogated to see if he had any connection with the slaying of the president."[814]
