My father worked at WRC-TV, Channel 4, in Washington, D.C. It was said to be the first television plant built "from the ground up" for color broadcasts. It was completed in 1957. My dad told me RCA invested $20 million in the plant at the time it was built. This would have to be considered opinion, however, I do have the original dedication documents stored and will check them. I seem to remember a dollar figure was mentioned. Also, there was a special article in RCA Broadcast News Magazine on this station, so when I have a spare moment, I will check that as well.

Regards,
Mark
