Color broadcasting timeline

[David Roper]

You need to update your 'facts' as they don't square with what is known and largely already covered in this thread. 1) ABC began colorcasting in 1962 and had several weekly color series on the air during three early-mid 1960s TV seasons in which CBS had none.

2) The 'old CBS system' was practically stillborn, all use of it for broadcasting having ceased in October of 1951 and the few sets that were sold for its use were recalled. The closed-circuit use (primarily medical) continued past 1954 because compatibility was a non-issue for that purpose. There was no immediate need to replace the privately used field sequential equipment.
