I hate to think how those great prints looked in a small town NBC station that just got hooked up to ATand T's cross country microwave system 30 or 40 hops out of NY. Oh they just converted their B/W transmitter to pass color and I have one of the first color sets in town and the shop that sold it to me does not really know how to set it up. But I might think anything color looks good just the magic of it at the time.
Our round sets today have a much better picture then they ever did when they were new.
