Video of WMT-TV switching from black and white to color broadcasts
WMT-TV Channel 2 in Iowa switched from its black and white programming to color for the very first time during a news report that took place on April 14, 1967.
The news show started with news anchor Bob Bruner and station manager Doug Grant sitting together talking about what viewers could expect. It was when Bruner went over to a separate desk across the stage, that the change took place.
Bruner stated that he was honored but perhaps slightly puzzled as to why he was chosen to announce the change.
"I feel doubly honored to have been chosen to be the first one involved in our big change because there are so many much more colorful characters around here than this report in the news".

TVs used to run on Tubes. I remember turning on the switch and it took a few seconds for the tubes to warm up. About the time it takes to go to the kitchen and get a cup of coffee and back if you didn’t hurry. I remember we got a “Solid state” Zenith TV and it was color. We were probably one of the last people on the block to get a color TV and with solid state the TV turned on instantly. That was 1970. But if you wanted to change the channel or volume you had to get up. TVs were for parents back then and if you were good all week and did your chores, then maybe you could watch Saturday morning cartoons. But back then you didn’t just turn the TV on without asking first. Totally different today, lol.

29APR2022 - I remember our first color TV. It took a 2-year degree from the local tech school to adjust it: color, hue, tint, contrast, brightness, vertical AND horizontal hold. Plus the fine tuning adjustment on the mechanical tuning knob. And, oh yeah, the antenna. That was another 6 months in school.

They probably didn't do multi-cam televising back then, because you see Bruner walking over to the desk across the studio. If it were multi-cam, they would probably not cut to him until he is behind the desk. It looks odd to see him walking over to the desk because you never see that in a modern TV program.

@Chad_Thundercock 7 месяцев назад

Analog broadcasting suffered a lot of signal distortion and reflections, and the actual color signal was, for simplicity's sake, hidden as a much more complex subsampling of the B&W signal. Until your TV could 'lock on' to the hidden color information, it would wobble around like that. The details are absurdly mathematical and border on straight up black magic, but that's the simple answer.
