Strangely enough, no; TV Guide lists them in black and white.
It is peculiar, given that Paul Dixon and Ruth Lyons' shows, both
of which originated at Ch. 5, did air in color.
 
With regards to this, it may have been in 1965, that WLW-T was still airing its news, sports and weather from the Comex Building across Elm Street from the main studios (where Dixon, Lyons, etc. did their shows). At that time, there were no color cameras in the Comex Building. I recall a time, the news and sports were done in the main building and telecast in color while the weather was still done in the Comex facility that had actual radar and weather gauges and it was still in black and white. While not in color, this certainly was more authentic (for example, when there was a gust of wind, you would actually see the wind gauge move). Later on in the 60's, the weather portion moved over to the main studios with the others although the gauges were then pre-set before the telecast to show current conditions.

Maybe an old WLW-T employee could provide dates and additional data on this.
 
Noted the name of Bill Sorrell doing "Sports In Review" on WKYT, Channel 27 at 5:55 P.M. He later did play-by-play of University of Cincinnati football & basketball games from the 1971-72 through 1976-77 seasons on WCKY Radio 1530-AM. A nice guy.
