1968 CBS Herb Alpert color special

and the best PR technique of all was NBC's anounced color peacock I can still remember having lots of friends and family that had black and white sets and wOld get totally insane every time they would see the peacock and hear the program be annouced in living color. That was one of the best PR moves in NBC could ever have done after all it's a beginning of every program as well at the end it reminded you that things look better in color living in Northwest Indiana we lucked out in the early color TV game as just about every dealer offered great bargains on color sets in all three stations as well as WGN broadcasted in full color, sometimes I wish I could go back in time with a magic video recorder and just start recording hours and hours and months of programming. At least that way we can have something decent to watch now.

We were lucky to have two color sources pretty early on WMAQ Chicago and later WGN.
