The first color broadcasts to the public were in 1953. It was a commercial failure as the new color televisions were not compatible with the existing black and white broadcasts and so to receive color and black and white broadcasts demanded two separate televisions.

The service was withdrawn after a few months. In 1955, the NTSC color standard was implemented as a national standard with RCA being the first to broadcast color services. The same color broadcast system has remained in use until the recent change to digital transmission.
