My one college course in television production (taken 50-years ago) taught me that all images broadcast over the "airwaves" are "color corrected." There are technical reasons for this I can't recall. But mostly the reasons are aesthetic. I would not be surprised if NBC has a stock "Trump Orange," standard.

Total BS... as usual... thanks Larry

The guy who taught the class was the Chief Technical Director for CBS Television City in Hollywood. But, I guess you know more than him. That's what I get for going to a school that doesn't burn books!

LOL... taken 50 years ago.... Sure Larry...

I will be 75-years old in a couple of months. I took that course 54-years ago at Moorpark College. I remember that "color correction" made images look better. For example, if a person being interviewed on the news had a stain on their shirt, it would be corrected to the same color as the rest of the shirt and disappear. TV is a visual medium, people are distracted by things that are unexpected, like that stain. Sometimes you have as few as 7-seconds to make a point on TV. Having something like a stain on a shirt or Trump not as orange as expected, can dilute the message.

Ah yes... back in the black-and-white days... LMAO

When I took this course, the ratio of color vs black and white content broadcasts was pretty much the same as today. In fact, with the popularity of Turner Classic Movies and other nostalgic broadcasts, there is more black and white content being broadcast today. The technology for broadcasting in color existed in the 1920s. But, most of the content for early TV came from old black and white movies, cartoons and "short subjects," like "The Little Rascals." etc. Black and white episodic TV was cheap to produce, thus profitable.

Commercial color TV came on the scene with NBC in the mid-1950's. Early broadcasts were Sporting Events, Holiday Specials and high rated shows like "Bonanza." The last network to "colorize," was CBS who spent years trying to convince the FCC to accept their patented color technology over NBCs, as the standard for the industry. If you are a fan of old TV, this explains why CBS shows were black and white about 10-years longer than NBC's.
