Hi,
The 1964 Olympics were the first color Olympic telecasts and the first Olympics telecast via satellite. Helped sell Roundies then too!

To follow up on the previous posts: NBC telecast, in color, the 1964 Olympics summer games opening ceremonies from Japan. The first cross pacific satellite color telecast. I would assume an NHK feed with American commentary.

In reference to the first post in this thread, I am amazed with the HD picture and the surround sound coming from NBC out of Grand Rapids, MI on my antenna. I watch this and it went through my mind that I thought I would never see such a clear picture from halfway around the world in my lifetime. Is it possible the Australian network that is picking up the NBC feed is mucking it up somehow?
I recall watching the ABC feeds from the winter games. I think it was 1968, and we thought that it being in color was cool enough.
