Interesting to note that the advertisement is factually incorrect; college ball had been televised in color by CBS with the field sequential system back in 1951, so this was hardly the "first time ever". RCA seemed to have a somewhat casual relationship with the truth...

It doesn't surprise me that the advertising would be factually incorrect. That's pretty much the media norm still today.

RCA bend the truth with regard to color TV? REALLY?!?!? NO WAY!!!!!
If you believe RCA, they pretty much single handedly invented every technology related to television, and Sarnoff personally developed color TV... |

CBS Color predated RCA Color, but CBS Color had one major fatal flaw, it was not compatible with monochrome sets, so RCA's NTSC system of Compatible Color TV was the more practical system, and wisely adopted later.

I do wonder how fast action sports looked on the 24fps/405 line CBS system... probably quite good... and color would have been a massive improvement but the 1955 Director 21 was probably not bad either!
