Live NTSC remote color telecasts had been broadcast at least since Jan. 1954. NBC's pioneering 1954 Rose Parade color telecast is a good example.Los Angeles independent station KTLA telecast the Rose Parade live in color in 1955 & 1956. NBC telecast the 1955 World Series live in color starting in 1955 as well as many live sporting events in color in the late '50's. RCA/NBC heavily promoted these broadcasts to sell RCA Victor color tv's. This, of course, does not include the short lived CBS field sequential color remote telecasts in the 1951 period. Color videotape was in limited use, mainly by NBC for time shifting, but also by other broadcasters by 1960.
