Here are some additional words from Cunningham in the interview by Larry Sneed:

The North Beckley address was located near the intersection of Zang and Beckley in the Oak Cliff section of Dallas. It was a fine home, probably 4,500 square feet with a huge living room and kind of a passageway which adjoined a dining room. This lady had several roomers. In fact, when we went in and asked her if she had a guy by the name of Lee Harvey Oswald rooming there, she told us, no. After we began describing him, she said, “Well, there’s a young man and his wife who live out there,” referring to a little house out behind her home. As we checked that place, she came running out and said, “They just showed that fellow’s picture on television. He has this room right here. I think he goes by the name Lee.”

If I remember correctly, it was Mr Johnson that was watching the television coverage and saw LHO’s picture for the first time. So, if it can be determined what time his picture was first broadcast on each network (like the times his name was first broadcast), then this would be a clue.

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.

NBC was the last of the three networks to broadcast his name (3:20 PM). Watching this video, it would appear that very soon after that, they had the information about his adventure in Russia. Take a look at about the 2:33:45 mark.

No, Marina told him nothing of the kind. "Translator" Ruth Paine did..

Also...supposedly...Ruth Paine knew nothing about the rifle

Mrs. PAINE - I heard on the television that he had purchased a rifle.
Mr. JENNER - When?
Mrs. PAINE - I heard it on November 23.

Did Ruthie--- "gasp"?

Also...supposedly...Ruth Paine knew nothing about the rifle :-\Did Ruthie--- "gasp"?     

Why did dear Ruthie have the date of "LHO purchase of rifle"  marked on her calendar??

I watched the NBC coverage and it hadn't yet shown Oswald's photo as of 4:16 PM CST. However, the CBS coverage does show Oswald at the DPD just before 3:30 PM CST. Dan Rather is commenting. Immediately after the brief view of Oswald they show what appears to be the revolver and some ammunition.

I will try to view the ABC coverage next...


Edit: Here is the link to the CBS coverage video, LHO can be seen at about the 3:00:05 mark:

After viewing the ABC coverage, it appears that they were the first to broadcast LHO's picture at the DPD. This happened at approximately 3:21 PM CST. They broadcast him just briefly as he entered through a door from a corridor and named him also. Bill Lord was commenting. Here is a link to the video. You can find this at about the 2:29:43 mark:

Edit: I think I jumped the gun a little bit. This video has apparently been edited and this part of the broadcast appears to be much later. Jay and Bill Lord are discussing time frames and this looks to have been broadcast close to 8:00 PM CST. My mistake.

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.
