Last night there was a great show on WAPA regarding the history of local TV. WAPA was the first to transmit in color. In 1966 they transmited a movie, forgot it's name, which was in color. The new "state of the art" WKAQ building was under construction then, and was finished in 1968, that is when WKAQ started to transmit some programs in color. Both WAPA and WKAQ became two of the top TV stations in the USA, as they were always upgrading to the latest technology, and in the 70's hired top executives, directors, and technicians from stations like NBC and CBS in New York.
