[QUOTE=Sandy G]Wonder when Ze French got color ? Was it on 819, too?...Seems like I remember reading the sound on 819 was AM, as well. Wonder why "819" ? Why not 850, 825, or hell, even 919? Would like to have seen an 819 transmission..[/QUOTE]
Hi sandy,
Diging into the information Tom sent me, it seems that the French did some early experimental work with colour on 819 lines, but like the UK their public colour broadcasts were on 625 lines (though they used SECAM rather than PAL). Why 819? I don't know. Maybe the AC line frequency in France had something to do with it? Jim.
