The intro says this was NOT the first color broadcast that occurred in 1953, but it was the first color broadcast to be recorded on videotape. Meaning it is the earliest color broadcast you will ever see, because there was no way to make a record of the earlier ones.
Thanks I realize that after I posted but was too lazy to correct. Any old timers care to recall the first time they saw color broadcast?
A lot of us were around in those days, before 1958, Sonny. Not that we had color TV receivers. They were very up market. My family didn't get one until roughly 1970. I recall early tube-based color receivers didn't work very well. The color was off.
Video tape was slow to be accepted in television because of the expense involved in mobil recording.
