As a teenager in 1957 living in St. Petersburg, Florida I used to visit a school friend had a color tv set. I remember that just about every week "The Red Skelton SHow" was done in color from CBS Television City in Hollywood. the announcer would state that the show was in color but there was no special opening or slide used as I remember at that time. But I remember marveling at the color on the program when i watched it at their house. His show was live of course. Don't know the model set they had, but remember it was RCA though (was only 12 and 13 so not into those model numbers yet.) I'm figuring they probably had a CTC-5 because they had gotten the set about a year previous 1956. As I remember, Skelton's program was the only regular program they telecast in color. I know that most of the time TV Guide didn't even indicate the show was a color telecast.
