For anyone living at the time, will never forget the week. You may have heard, " I remember exactly what I was doing when the news broke" It's true, I was 17 at the time and the announcement came over the PA system in study hall. I was living with my parents and they did not have a color TV.

Back then (1963) color TV was limited to a few hours in prime time, so I suspect most or all live remote broadcasts were B&W. I remember that the networks went mainstream with all day color telecasting in 1966-67. That was a big incentive to buy a color TV which were expensive then. My first was a 67 RCA purchased late 1966. :-)
