As I may have stated before, the transition from B/W to color in the '60s is one of my favorite areas. Interesting how, as far as daytime goes, NBC's lineup was mostly color, while ABC and CBS had no daytime shows in color. When did the pendulum start to swing the other way for them?

The 1966-67 season for CBS, and the 1967-68 season for ABC. By then, NBC's daytime lineup was all color (after the last holdout, Concentration, knuckled under in the late fall of '66).

Any idea how that was accomplished? Also, judging by the date this was about the time WSUN lost affiliation to WLCY.

That being daytime, while in terms of prime time the color push got going
a season earlier:

65-66 had a decent amount of "(sounder) CBS presents this program in color!
(sounder out)"...

Martian
Ed
Lucy
Ange (now sans Barn)
Hazel
Hillbillies
Acres
Gilligan
3 Sons
Hogan

...there may have been a few others on the Eye, while ABC had at least a
couple lensed in tint (Farmer's and Gidget come to mind).

The 66-67 season prime time was full color on all three nets, while fall 65
was almost full color on the snake (or chimes, if you wish) net--the two
exceptions being Jeannie and Convoy.

Disclaimer: some movies were of course B&W.
 
Too late to add this above (edit window timed out), but getting back to daytime,
is there a timeline on when the five-minute newscasts went to color? Especially
on NBC, though info on ABC and CBS is also welcomed.

You'd see the games 'n' soaps in color, followed by Edwin Newman, Nancy Dickerson
or "Floyd Kalber, NBC News...Chicago" in B&W. Kind of like WBAP on 11/22/63 in
reverse. <wink>
