This color bleeding isn't occuring on the retro shows that were made back in the days of this style of set. It is just more pronounced on the new broadcasts and even that it's not terrible. We will probably keep on using it the way she is.

BLOOMING symptom is the pix will expand as brightness goes up.
With changes of scene it will "breathe" in & out. Very common on tube
sets but very rare on solid states.
BLEEDING or FLAMING is a streak to the right of a bright scene.
Can be one color or any color or white. Almost always weak CRT.
Turning up brightness & contrast make it much worse.
BTW since you have a "knob job" tuner forget the cable switch.
There are 12 presets for VHF fine tuning, one for each channel.
It is a screw so you can turn it quite a few times. Most the time
you can go to the next channel, ch5 can go to ch4 or ch6.
Proper way to FT is turn off any AFT & auto color switches,
fine tune for best pix then put the AFT on.
