Ann Palmer: CBS Color Girl

At Television City, ‘Lady Ann’ spent as much time in front of their color cameras than most of the CBS stars. Very little color was done from CBS NY, and at TVC, color programs were on a rolling basis. Regularly scheduled shows would be done in color perhaps monthly or quarterly. Remember, it was 1970 before color sets outsold black and white sets.

    Because at the time RCA was pretty much the only game in town when it came to NTSC color. I bet CBS would have had more color early if they didn’t have to buy all their cameras from RCA. Of course when they did go full time color it was with Norelco cameras.
