I also found this Dec. 1954 L.A.TV Guide listing for Shower of Stars. While the ad states, in small print, that the show is in B&W & color, the listings don't contain the "COLOR" icon. CBS telecast Shower of Stars live in the east & midwest in color, but the delayed prime time broadcast was via B&W kinescope in the west. CBS didn't use color kinescope for time delay. NBC did use color kinescope for some west coast prime time color shows. The quality of the color kine was questionable. Film shows could be broadcast in color in prime time in all time zones.
