Birthday today!
The first commercial color televisions were put on the market on this date, 50 years ago.
From the
Houston Chronicle:
bq. On March 25, 1954, Radio Corporation of America began making color televisions at its Bloomington, Ind., plant. It built 5,000 sets with 12-inch screens, known as the model CT-100 color receiver. They sold for $1,000 each, astronomical in those days.
