And a note from Sentinel TV columnist Buck Herzog: “CBS will resume colorcasts on a regular basis no later than fall. ABC has already decided to purchase full color equipment.”
 
"Continental Kino" (Channel 18, 2PM) was a series of German-language films hosted by Herb Wittke, who was a radio personality on "ethnic" station WMIL-AM. Most of the films were German musicals and comedies, but the series ran a few documentaries as well. Channel 18 was always trying to offer diverse programming, but was usually defeated by its lack of money and invariably found itself falling back on old Hollywood movies, syndicated shows and wrestling matches.
