CBS sends first color TV broadcast

60th Anniversary- CBS sends first color TV broadcast over the air.
June 25, 1951

Columbia Broadcasting System broadcast the first color television program. The four-hour program was carried by stations in New York City, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Boston and Washington DC, although no color sets were owned by the public. At the time CBS itself owned fewer than 40 color receivers.
