At ABC and (until 1966) at CBS this was true, but NBC actually began shooting a portion of their kines off of color monitors starting back in the 50s.
And although CBS may have continued to use their old B&W kinescoping setups, once they switched over to color in 1966, they didn't really bother to filter their signals-- their kinescopes from that period forward are far inferior to the ones they produced in prior years.
