First Inauguration colorcast
A propos of this week's events, does anyone know which presidential Inauguration was the first to be colorcast? I suspect it might have been Nixon's in 1969. It couldn't have been Ike in 1957 because on the 1958 WRC dedication ceremony tape, it's described as his first appearance on color TV from Washington. I've never seen color tape on JFK's 1961 inauguration, just the color film. For LBJ in 1965, I've seen a promo for NBC's coverage (in the station break on an episode of "Hullabaloo") that never says "in color," which they certainly would have.
Thoughts?
