The development of Colour Television went hand-in-hand with the development of television itself with ideas for such technology being proposed as far back as the late Nineteenth Century. John Logie Baird demonstrated the first colour transmission in 1928 with the first regular broadcasts (using a different system to Baird’s) being made by CBS in the USA in 1950. The colour system used in that country to this day (NTSC) was launched by both NBC and CBS in 1953 and the amount of colour programming increased until 1968 when full colour programming was the norm.
