Like anything else, they did it to save money - it was cheaper to make a kinescope or videotape in B&W back then. The networks regularly taped live programming from New York to be played later on the West Coast - I'd have to talk to a friend of mine who has done extensive research into this stuff to see if it was regularly done with any color programming.
