Indeed. And also the B&W needed repair less often, was cheaper to buy or replace. And a bunch of B&W only programming. You made do. Growing up for me, there also was two channels available, WATE-TV 6 in Knoxville, TN (then NBC) and WBIR-TV 10 in Knoxville, TN, (Then CBS). WTVK-TV 26 (then ABC in the same city was a weak signal, often difficult to receive). My first used Color TV was a Admiral Roundie around 1977, needed a rejuvenation on the CRT, then after two years got a rebuilt jug.
