Color TV was introduced in the 1950's.
The United States started a trial system of color tv in 1950, this ended in 1951. It wasn't until 1953 that color tv as we know it today was introduced.
The first working color television was shown in London in 1928 by John Logie Baird. Three years earlier, he had demonstrated the world's first monochrome television. Although the monochrome television went into service in 1029, the color version was never sold commercially. The first commercial use of color television was in the US in 1953.
Color TV was introduced in the U.S. in 1953 but almost nobody watched the color programming as the early color TV sets cost too much. This continued to be the case until the middle 1960s.
Yes, most certainly it could. When color television was introduced in the US and UK, in the 50s and 60s, it was decided that any color system should still operate as a black and white signal. The color standards PAL (UK) and NTSC (US) were introduced. Both of them overlaid the color information on top of the black and white signal. Color receivers would decode the color information and display a full color image. Black and white televisions would receive the same signal, ignore the color information but still display a black and white image. It is worth noting that 50 years on, both PAL and NTSC are still being used for standard definition broadcasts today. It is a great testiment to the engineers and developers of those early color broadcasts that the standards have remained unchanged for more than half a century.
Television was first introduced in South Africa in 1974. The PAL color system was that chosen, Initially TV programs were only broadcast for a few hours in the evening.
The introduction of color television broadcasting was a significant new feature that was first introduced in Indian television in 1976. This allowed viewers to experience programs in color for the first time, marking a major milestone in the history of television in India.
Colour television was introduced in New Zealand in 1973, coinciding with the introduction of the nationwide TV network.
