The question doesn't specify in which country. In the UK we didn't have colour transmission until 1970's. Therefore it's a bad question.

I worked at a store that sold color TV's in 1965. The color was so bad!!! & the price was over $500. A big rip-off.

CoolArcane84805, Well, I haven't met anyone who has seen broadcast in colour in the '50s or even '60s. I also thought 1977 was the right answer.

Player #724643, I was looking for one of the answers to be in the 1960's, also. No one I knew had a color tv before then and certainly not my family!

I remember seeing Disney's Wonderful World of Color on Sunday nights in "color" in the early 60's

SloaneRanger2019, I was under the impression that there was a big push toward color broadcast transmission in the UK in 1953 in the run-up toward the coronation. Am I wrong?

Xalver

SloaneRanger2019, as me stated I'm pretty sure the coronation of the queen in 1953 was the first colour transmission. There was even a Dr. Who episode based around it.

In Australia the first broadcast in black and white was in 1956.

DaveGundërsen, yes I m afraid we didn't get until the 70s don't know why it took so long to get it here.

luckycatfay

Xalver, no that was probably shown in cinemas definitely not in UK until about 1971 ish

jsh

Xalver, not in the UK

Cizinka

Soleil10001, I saw a color show in 1960. poor quality.

Viejoyfeo

Jack’s Girl

My parents bought a console color TV in 1967 here in Texas is lasted at least 20 years!

this isn't right. I remember when my family went to my aunt's to watch Bonanza in color I was 11 or 12. this would have been 1959 or summer of 1960. The date you have puts me around 3 when tv was still in it's infantcy 😂

Sunya

I cut my finger badly on my right hand as a youngster in Washington state in 1961. After stitching and bandaging, kind neighbors invited me to watch their color TV and we watched Bonanza. It was a special thing to have a color TV and few shows were broadcast in color. I'm positive about the date because I was just learning to write script in 3rd grade (9 years old) and had to do it with my left hand.

Player Say what!?

Player #1329501, I just saw a story today about the first microwave ovens. They were huge and cost over $700.

KAITLYNMARIA

SloaneRanger2019, I think the 1st televised sports programme in the UK to use colour was Wimbledon. I refuse to have a TV as I'm hardly at home & I work many hours + haven't got any family

NLadybug

My aunt Gertrude had the first color TV in our family in the late 50's and we went over to her house to watch Wonderful World of Disney

Player Say what!?

I remember the first color program we saw was The Jackie Gleason Show in the mid 60's. We were awestruck at the beautiful colorful curtains on the stage.

NoblePresident78932

March 3, 1966 was first broadcast in colour in Britain and also first in Europe. No until the 1970's were there regular colour broadcasts in Britain on BBC 2.

Player #25874027

Edwardsausagefingers, Must have been very late 60s as the 1966 World CupFinal was not broadcast in colour

Upjumbley

I was born in 1953 and remember colour television being introduced in the U.K. Therefore the answer can not be 1953!!

Sloane Ranger

Edwardsausagefingers, Then it must have been a test broadcast. The first official colour broadcast in the UK was late 1969. Hence me thinking it was the 1970s.

Player #8931561

Soleil10001, I visited England in 1968, and my aunt in the Lake District had colour tv. It wasn’t great but it was in colour 😁

Chelseablue 1971

SloaneRanger2019, I thought the queens coronation was broadcast in colour for the 1st time in the UK

VividPotion6704

DaveGundërsen, yes we did not have colour TV till the 70's

Edwardsausagefingers

SloaneRanger2019, Not true FA cup final was broadcast by bbc 2 in the 60’s

Laudy Miss Claudy

We got our first color TV in 1963.

PreppyMajesty89844

I believe you are incorrect when TV began to broadcast in color. I'm old enough to remember the 1st presidential debate being in B & W in 1959 with Kennedy % Nixon. And all of broadcasting during the major part of the 60's being B & W. look it up.

Player #3012622

MeemawSauce5457, my daddy sold TVs, but not before the 60’s.

lostiaz

SloaneRanger2019, yes, but! Isnt the use of colour an 'invention' and do any other similar questions refer to a country?, just saying 🤔
