WAVE Ch. 3 Louisville (NBC)

6:30 Continental Classroom: "Probablilty and
Statistics" (COLOR)

out of everything on the schedule, they chose THIS for the early adoption of color? ???
 
Seems a lot of NBC's color programming in those days
was centered on lower-level shows, such as game shows.
If you're curious, here's what else was in color on NBC
that week (starting Saturday, May 20):

SAT 10 AM/9 AM Shari Lewis
10:30/9:30 King Leonardo
2 PM/1 PM Baseball: Tigers-Red Sox
7:30/6:30 Bonanza

SUN 2 PM/1 PM Baseball: White Sox-Red Sox
6 PM/5 PM Meet The Press
7 PM/6 PM Shirley Temple's Storybook
9 PM/8 PM Chevy Show (Andy Williams)

MON 9:30/8:30 Concentration (which was in black
and white in the daytime)

TUE nothing not already listed

WED 8:30/7:30 The Price Is Right

THU 9:30/8:30 Tennessee Ernie Ford Show
