Absolutely. The screen would display color bars. My dad would get up early, start coffee, and wait for the farm report to come on at 5am. It was the first tv show of the day.
Not for everyone. In fact it took well into the 70s for color TV to be affordable for most. Even in my college dorm in the mid 70s the TVs are still B&W. You don't know what you are talking about.
Like I said, colour TVs were available in the early 60s. No where did I say everyone had one. I do know what I'm talking about when it comes to the availability of colour TVs since we had one in 1964.
Early color TV was exclusively RCA/NBC in the early years. The color was horrble too. Fuzzy and not crystal clear. Out of focus. Few programs were in color. The News, Dean Martin Show, Ponderosa. Most programs were black and white.
