Do consider even with the networks going color, that smaller affiliates were slower to be able to air color even off the networks. And also be considerate of the fact that equipment was expensive, often finicky in use, and less than reliable, and above all full of tubes. Smaller market affiliates often made do with less expensive new and second and third hand equipment. And locally originated color in small markets on local news and locally produced commercials and shows was slower in coming. In some cases, as late as the early to mid 1970's.
