I’d like to share two brief passages in a 1945 issue of Radio News Magazine. This article was written by Robert W. Ehrlich and it’s about the concept of color television. Keep in mind this was written before black and white sets were in people’s homes!

“As world events move closer to the point where the radio industry can once again operate on a peacetime basis, the thoughts of designers, experimenters, producers, and advertisers turn toward television and its future. One feature that is expected eventually to be a part of television is the use of color.”

AND THIS

“Color television is by no means new. As far back as 1928 it was demonstrated by Mr. J. L. Baird in England. Ten years later, an 8 by 12 foot color picture was shown before an audience of 3000 at the Dominion Theater, in London.”

Wow! It would have been great to witness the dawn of color tv in that audience of 3,000.
