THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF COLOR!
This is "Color TV Day!" Imagine have a
TV without color these days! It was back in
1951 when CBS aired what was considered
to be the first color TV broadcast. Of course
most people only had black and white television
sets which couldn't decode the signal and they
only received a blank screen! A few specially
designed set were set up in hotels and they got
to see the broadcast in color. All of the networks
had been experimenting with color for some time.
In fact there was a story that, in 1943, NBC did a
color broadcast with Jerry Lewis and Bill
"Bojangles" Robinson that went from the network's
studios in New York to Princeton University that
had only one viewer! That viewer was Albert
Einstein! I remember when color TV's were
the "new big thing." I asked the clerk in the
appliance store if he had any and he quickly
said "Yes!" "Great," I said! "I'll take a green one!"
Hope your day is colorful and that all your
NEWS is good!
