At the link above, you can read the whole story on the Gallery page of my main website. CBS was very good about donating outdated equipment to colleges and religious broadcasters. Occasionally, public broadcasting stations got some help too, like WCNY in Syracuse NY, which signed on in late 1965. ’65 was the year CBS made a huge commitment to color when the Norelco PC60s debuted. I don’t think WCNY had a live capacity till a few years after they went on the air. Not all of the black and white cameras were thrown overboard though. CBS had a dozen or so Mark VIs at the Broadcast Center which came to life in 1964.
Interesting notes about the Marconi Mark IVs ay http://www.tvcameramuseum.org/marconi/mk4/mk4_1.htm
I worked at Wayne State University TV in Detroit. We got three CBS MK IVs in late 60’s. They replaced our TK-11s.
