I know a little off topic but here in the U.S., I think we crossed the 50% color TV line in 1972. We got our first color set in 1971 so we were among them. My aunt had an old RCA CTC-14(?) roundie since 1962 or so. I lived and grew up in the Pittsburgh PA area and I'm still nearby in the Ohio Valley jsut to the west and Pittsburgh had the last only Black and white TV station. It was WQEX, channel 16, sister to WQED, channel 13. WQEX used the short lived WENS UHF transmitter from the early 1950's until it died in the late 1980's, broadcasting in black and white only. Most of the time it seemed that WQEX was a black and white broadcast version of "Britbox" showing a lot of British programs like Dr. Who and so on.
