Color television
The relatively small amount of network color programming , combined with the high cost of color television sets , meant that as late as 1964 only 3.1 percent of television households in the U.S. had a color set . But by the mid-1960s , the subject of color programming turned into a ratings war . A 1965 ARB study that proposed an emerging trend in color television set sales convinced NBC that a full shift to color would gain a ratings advantage over its two competitors . As a result , NBC provided the catalyst for rapid color expansion by announcing that its prime time schedule for fall 1965 would be almost entirely in color . ABC and CBS followed suit and over half of their combined prime - time programming also was in color that season , but they were still reluctant to telecast all their programming in color due to production costs . All three broadcast networks were airing full color prime time schedules by the 1966 -- 67 broadcast season , and ABC aired its last new black - and - white daytime programming in December 1967 . Public broadcasting networks like NET , however , did not use color for a majority of their programming until 1968 . The number of color television sets sold in the U.S. did not exceed black - and - white sales until 1972 , which was also the first year that more than fifty percent of television households in the U.S. had a color set . This was also the year that `` in color '' notices before color television programs ended , due to the rise in color television set sales , and color programming having become the norm .

Screening of soap operas in Australia
Coronation Street is a British soap opera that first aired in Australia in 1963 on TCN - 9 Sydney , GTV - 9 Melbourne and NWS - 9 Adelaide . By 1966 , Coronation Street was more popular in Australia than in the United Kingdom . The show eventually left some free - to - air television in Australia in the 1970s . It remained on some regional stations and could be viewed in capital cities until 1989 . It briefly returned to the Nine Network in a daytime slot during 1994 -- 95 and picked up from where it last left off .
