The only NBC daytime programs still in B&W at this time, other than the daytime news updates, were the soap operas ANOTHER WORLD (went to color 6/20) & THE DOCTORS (went to color 10/17) and the game show CONCENTRATION, which was the last NBC program anywhere in its schedule to go to color on 11/7.<br /><br />ABC's daytime schedule was still entirely in B&W, with DARK SHADOWS the first ABC daytime program to go to color on 8/14/67.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00483417885845331990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-17156474591109745542018-02-25T18:29:02.085-05:002018-02-25T18:29:02.085-05:00It appears indie WTCN-11 picks up a couple of ABC ...It appears indie WTCN-11 picks up a couple of ABC morning shows not aired on the local ABC outlet KMSP-9, reruns of "Donna Reed" & "Father Knows Best". It's interesting to note that unlike many 'indie channels' in 1966, WTCN-11 has a few shows in colour, plus the late movie.<br /><br />The NBC morning soap "Paradise Bay" is totally unfamiliar to me, as regional NBC outlet KING-5 Seattle didn't carry this, instead airing a locally produced show for houswives - "King's Queen"Mike in British Columbianoreply@blogger.com
