Hey Pete,

As you rightly point out, the photos, wrongly dated 1954, at the top of this thread are from the June, 1951 CBS "Premier" broadcast of their field sequential color system. The CBS color logo, pictured, looks to be from that broadcast. The CBS "bloodshot" eye logos, a variation of their familiar b&w eye logo, came later when CBS adopted the NTSC color system. All the LIFE Magazine photos were from various issues that date back to the early 40's through the mid '50's as LIFE covered the developement of color tv.
