It's extra huge for a grinning idiot who's never studied this time frame yet can tell you all the stereotypes they've picked up from movies to fit into a time period that was actual in real life with real people, not a sitcom show in black and white.

It is heavy!

Shows how much you know lol

A color TV of any kind is an expensive investment and was a status symbol of wealth. Imagine being the only kid in town that can watch NBC's "Disneyland in Color" in color...

Equivalent to when 4K tvs first came out. There were barely any media that was formatted to that back then but ppl bought the TVs regardless ag crazy price/size to fully utilize it in 3+ years when more shows/films/games uses 4K.

It was crazy!

This was just one channel, you know. Not the first color broadcast in history or anything.

​@@TheLukasDirector To them, any impressive thing was the first because they had the honor of watching it and of course they know everything.

@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar Ah yes, the great WitchKing of Angmar, clearly a man of humble descent, and doesn't call himself a king on the internet and clearly doesn't act like he knows everything, because of course, this wasn't the first time that channel went on color tv right? It wasn't a historical moment for that channel, or a historical moment for that time period because I'm gonna assume other channels went onto color around the same time, no? Forgive me great Witch King, for leaving such a foolish comment on a internet thread that I should've known you would be on. Get over yourself, Kingcunt of Angmar.

@@TheLukasDirector Like I said to the Great Witchking, this was around the time all channels went on to Color TV, and it's pretty cool being able to see the transition to color and how ground breaking it was for that channel, and the viewers watching it if they had a TV capable at the time, it was crazy back then being able to produce film in color and being able to report News in real time and color, and now we are able to watch it in our hands. How far we've come, this channel and many others.

If you were an older newsman in the 1960s you most definitely got your start in radio. Outside of the biggest US metro areas, non-print news was mostly received over the radio until the early 1950s.

@@arvetisI’m reporting live at the opening of the Roman colosseum where a crowd of fans looks on as a parade of lions and gladiators walks down the Via Claudia.

You had to specifically buy a color television set in order to see this change happen before your eyes. Most of the TVs that were watching the show were in black and white and the change over to color didn’t change anything because they still had old TV sets.

@@NemeanLion- as they explained, the color cameras still provided an upgrade in quality even monochrome so stuff did change

@@vast9467 I doubt they saw any change on those old sets.

And because you were born in this generation, you're going to see way, way more mind blowing stuff, yet to come, than you can imagine. And, no, I'm not talking about technology. Not at all.

@@MRALEX9870 ?

Our case in argentina was worse, the color transition was presented by a woman wearing a black dress.

Oh the delicious timing.

TVs were expensive for a ling time, especially color televisions. So while the networks offered color programming in ‘67 or by ‘68, there was a lag in adoption by the public. I bet it took 10 years or so. By then, one only bought a B/W television by accident or something like that, or for a portable.

They explained that they had designed a new set for color TV and he walked over there for the transition.

@@ryanhilliard1620it's like op desperately wanted us to know that he barely paid attention to the video at all. But they also never paid attention when told there's only one space after punctuation so this follows a pattern.

Him adding an extra space after punctuation actually demonstrates that he did grow up in that era. A space after punctuation was usually added for formatting purposes while using a typewriter. Some instructors continued to require this spacing as computers became more commonplace. There was also a common opinion that the extra space improved readability, which has been largely abandoned. Unless you are using a specific writing format or following instructions to not use the extra space, there’s nothing that says you can’t add an extra space after a sentence. My guess is he learned to type on a typewriter, which became a habit that he’s never bothered to lose.

@@drunkentrainyup, I had a few teachers when I was younger than instructed us to double space after periods when typing on a computer. And I was born in the very late 90’s, so that persisted into the early to mid 2000’s. By middle school, no instructors were doing this anymore.

The reason there wasn’t a smooth transition was to show him walking over to the new color set before switching over to the color camera. You can see the color camera in the shot of the black and white camera after he walks over and they turn the set lights on.

I was trying to see what year this was. Wasn't sure if it was 536 Ad, 1299 Ad, 47 Bc or 1999 AD. Thanks for the background.

Thanks! I was just about to ask what year this was :-)

The great Dubuque flood was in April of 1965.

I remember in about 1972 they had a 50th year on the air anniversary on WMT-AM and Bob Bruner (the newscaster in this video) was part of the roundtable discussion as he also worked on the radio side. At one point while they were discussing how things had changed over the years in radio and TV he said something like, “We would have been better off if people like Ed Sullivan had never introduced to America some of these rock acts like the Beatles.” He got a lot of immediate backlash from other guests on the program. But I suspect at that time it was a commonly held belief with the many older listeners. He was born in a different era. Very much the straight-up, no nonsense newscaster. Kind of boring but nowadays it’s all flash. He was a good guy.

Wish we could say the same about your boring posts.

That's certainly not true but an interesting neuromyth nonetheless

What does that mean?

@@joshwilliams7692 Before color is allowed to be broadcasted it must be flashed. Because of people with seizures watching screens.

@@brothernumber1576 What do you mean by flashed? How does that help people who get seizures?

@@joshwilliams7692 You didn't really get a good answer. A colorbust was a very short, very high frequency (3.58mhz) pulse at the beginning of every line of a color TV picture. It served to re-synchronize the color circuits so the colors were correct. Also, it's presence denoted a color picture, and it's absence denoted a black and white picture. So, if a color set tuned into a B&W station, it wouldn't see the colorburst and would turn the color circuits off. In an era where stations had both B&W and color programs, they were supposed to turn off the colorburst on B&W programs. If they showed a B&W picture and forgot to turn off the colorburst, the set would look in vain for color information, sometimes interpreting static and film grain as color signals and the screen would show multi-colored confetti. PS: a black and white set watching a color program would see the colorburst but ignore it.

@@brothernumber1576 , the color burst has nothing to do with accommodating people who get seizures from certain visual stimuli. And the television accommodation of people who might get seizures from rapid flashing, which was discovered in players it video-games, didn't begin until the late 1990s.

There are NPCs that actually believe this

This isn't even the first color televised platform. It was just big when any group got to switch to color but the first color broadcast was 1952. Imagine sheeny hair, full suits, a series of maroon, gray, biege, light blue, and mint cars, imagine a hustle of people dressed elegantly, and imagine that is color sprawled on your very own television.

@@Alex_1400believe? It’s a fact

@@Alex_1400I use to believe it when I was like 9

this is true. my grandfather was around when this happened. and my father lived through the times when everything was grainy.

Truly

Yep

I still had a black and white TV as a teen in the 90s and was glad to have my own small tv.

It's no wonder that most tv's were black and white _before_ there was any color on the tv broadcasts. No reason to invest in a very expensive color tv to be the only one who has it, and nothing but black and white content to watch

Same here, also Y2K but I grew up with much older tech because I lived with my great grandparents with my mom, and we had like huge tube tvs and chunky wall phones. I was genuinely blown away when I saw a mobile phone, and I was like 6, in 2005. Then the iPhone came and it felt like I jumped hundreds of years in the future. If I could time travel to the past I'd wanna visit the late 60s and early 70s, maybe even the 90s just to see the revolutionary tech.

In the 80's, a color TV was still a luxury for poor people, even if it was an old color TV with tubes. My downstairs neighbor had a color floor console TV with no working sound, but used a small b&w set to tune into the same channel for the sound 😂

That can't possibly be from 1967. In 1967 Color Television looked like that: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9Jgrb1mrbvMiJc.html

@@relgeiz2 ? They just used a different camera with a worse sensor

@@relgeiz2 Very ignorant

That’s every day

True. Most B&W medical CRTs tended to have a much higher line count than consumer CRT televisions. Professional video monitors ended up insanely sharp though. I’ve got a Sony PVM14L5 which supports up to 1080i, but I mostly use it for Super Nintendo at 240p. Still, it’s _very_ sharp for a CRT no matter the resolution.

I have a little 5" b&w set from about 1980 and the picture on it is sharp as a tack, smaller color sets from the same era were very fuzzy in comparison and also as they got older the colors would drift meaning they had to be adjusted constantly.

That was mostly due to crappy video standards tho as opposed to the TVs themselves, Europe had SCART and we didn't

Newscasters in that era considered it a privilege that you would watch their broadcast. Unlike modern "journalist" divas who believe they are somehow talented beloved Hollywood stars that speak only The Truth.

​@@OzBaxter John Daly is an excellent example.

There was a lot more formality in that era. Frankly, we've moved to far in the opposite direction.

Since I grew up with B&W I didn't even know it was black and white. It was just what I watched and I assumed it was normal...until I found out otherwise.

I know it's not what you mean, but they did choose outfits based on how they'd show up on B&W film. Some things that look fine in color are ugly or distracting in B&W. And the other way around, too. A lot of the clothes and makeup that looked great in B&W looked terrible in color/real life!

I used to think that back in the old days everything was black and white.

I thought that too

He was Brazilian, from Brazil and Brazil citizen. Brazil also invent airplane.

If they used small IO tubes for the chroma, they might have had half a chance with the '42. Trying to match vidicons with a 4" IO tube?! That's being terminally cheap, and they didn't pay their engineers enough for this s***

In spite of their later Plumbicon TK-44A/B and TK-45A. (There were some bugs in their last two models, TK-46 and TK-47.)

We had some TK-42's at WQAD and it wasn't uncommon during the evening newscast where the cameras would go out of registration and you would see 3 images.

Shakes fist at cloud*

Don Henley's song comes to mind 😅

Youll see a difference in chroma. Colors have different values of black and white. They even explain this in the video.

No it isn't. Just some random channel. Not like the entire country switched or all countries.

@@jameshoffa7085ok

Likely 1959, shortly after the color standard was approved by the FCC

1960s

68

65-67

From what I'm reading, 1967. They already had RCA TK-42 camera, but RCA was about to introduce the TK-43.
