The first ones I watched were The Tonight Show on NBC, April 26, 1999,=20
followed by ABC's Monday Night Football on September 13, 1999.=20
But before that there must have been test broadcasts going back to 1996, =
possibly earlier..=20
Anyone know of some?

Establish equal metrics. "Regular" HDTV or DTV broadcasts started when?

NTSC Color was approved on December 17, 1953.=3D20
At 5:31:17 that afternoon, NBC displayed in color, the NBC "Chimes" logo =

which was used to introduce color programming until 1957 when the NBC =

Peacock became
the signature for NBC color.=3D20
At 6:15 that day, CBS broadcast a live color program with=3D20
Rocky Marciano using NTSC, and was followed at 6:30 by an NBC =
program=3D20
featuring David Sarnoff, Pat Weaver and Jimmy Durante.
NBC began a regular schedule of color programming in 1954.=3D20

So, again I ask, what percentage of sets sold in 1964, ten years after =

You mean 1-2years after the first network programs were shown in color?
Funny that you claim color was 10 years old in 1974, considering that =
=3D
the
FCC didn't approve color until mid 1956.
ISTR that by 1969 or so, half the sets sold were color. 13 years after
color was adopted, 7 years after the first regular network color =3D
broadcasts.
