By late 1954 many CBS affiliates could transmit network color broadcasts to their local markets. There was some cost incurred to modify the transmitters and install color monitoring equipment. Locally originated color via film/slide or live color equipment was rare at most stations. High cost, minuscule % of color sets and sponsor reluctance to pay additional costs of producing local commercials/programs in color dictated affiliates to hold off on other than network originated color broadcasts for quite some time.
