I was in Atlanta at the time and there was no color transmission here at the time, only B&W.

I found this on Ed Reitan’s site: “ It was not known by either Deppe or CBS's Richard O'Brien when Studio 72 was retired. Stephen Paley says he saw Studio 72 still in operation in 1964. The TK-40A color cameras had been converted to the CBS "Video Scene" process whereby they were used as black and white cameras for matte shots. Eventually, only the TK-26 Film Chains from Studio 72 were moved to the Broadcast Center on West 57th Street in late 1964. Thus, the only CBS East Coast color capability from late 1964 until the conversion of the Sullivan Theater in late 1965 was from film and video tape.”
