Excerpt from The Dinah Shore Chevy Show 1959: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1fIhPW9hns. You have to know that color video tape was by then exceptable for time delay broadcasts. However the original over the air live broadcast were far superior when viewed on a well set up color receiver w/a good roof top antenna system. In the mid 50's, before videotape, OTA live broadcasts provided exceptional color pictures. I'm old enough to remember these early color shows both studio & remote sports broadcasts. RCA, for one, didn't want anything less than the best color images on their NBC network. The were trying to sell color TV sets to a weary public and it was a tough sell for many years.
