What's the rush? It took from 1954 to 1968 for the NBC Network to
become full color, still longer for CBS and ABC.
And many more years for stations in small markets to upgrade to local
color production. It was not until the U-matic tape format (aided by
digital time-base correction) made color affordable and mobile enough
to support ENG, that many stations finally made the transition to
color. This also led to the huge increase in U.S. TV stations in the
'80s.
Just more anecdotal evidence that the fortunes of local broadcasters
are tied to the audiences they can attract with network and
off-network content.
Can anyone show me a broadcaster that is thriving, based primarily on
locally produced content?
