I recall that CBS also used the TK-41 cameras from 1954 into the 60's. I know that as a youngster the live network & local color broadcasts on NBC & KNBC (KRCA) were spectactular. As were film color broadcasts (Disney, Bonanza). CBS's live & film color broadcasts were also of very good quality. I never cared for the Norelco pastel colors. The West coast time delay tape color broadcasts were generally poor quality in the late 50's-early 60's. ABC's film color in the early 60's (Jetsons, Flinstones) was also top quality leaving the network. The problem, mostly with ABC, IMO, was when local stations lack of color experience caused poor color signals to be telecast. At local KTLA, where I worked, our TK-41 color was as good as it gets. We also had full RCA color film/slide equip. We used those cameras into the late 70's when we replaced them with Norelcos. We still had some 21" roundie monitors in the control room and remote truck into the early 80's.
