Orange Bowl Parade: December 31,1966

Thanks to David Zorning for this very interesting photo. In preparation for the CBS broadcast, two RCA TK1s are being set up along Miracle Mile in Coral Gables, Florida, a Miami suburb. There were probably six cameras on the parade route, and they had to belong to a CBS truck out of New York as the first color cameras WTVJ had were Norelco and most of their remote equipment was tied up with providing the network with The Jackie Gleason Show which was done in Miami.  WTVJ was Florida’s first TV station and a long time CBS affiliate. I think only WPLG (ABC, Miami) had TK41s. Notice the CBS Color logo on the camera…that logo was created by CBS when they started loading up on Norelco cameras, but they used it on their TK41s too.
