Color TV Day is observed annually on June 25 of every year. Color TV Day is celebrated to remind everyone to appreciate one of the granted innovations, i.e., color television. Color television is used in a variety of places, from our homes to the large screening of matches, weddings, events, etc. Earlier, the televisions were in black and white, and the viewer leading to monotony, could not enjoy various color scenery and clothes worn by the actors. But color TV changed the view of the TV and made the entertainment more interesting, realistic, and enjoyable. So, on this day, be grateful for the color television that has helped us enjoy the original format of any film.
“When I got my first television set, I stopped caring so much about having close relationships.” – Andy Warhol
History Of Color TV Day
The creator and the origin of Color TV Day are unknown. However, the reason behind the day must be to celebrate the best entertainment instrument of all generations, which is color television. TV first came into the market during the late 19th century, but during that time, electronics were less advanced, and there were only a few televisions. Only in 1935 the regular broadcasts of black and white shows were telecast, and by 1950 around six million televisions were sold in the United States alone. A commercial was broadcast with a variety of shows featuring Ed Sullivan, which is considered to be the changing step of everything. The major transition took place in 1965 when an announcement was made that more than half of prime-time broadcasting was done in color. By 1980, the majority of televisions were transformed into color TV. Around 2006, countries began to switch from analog color television technology to digital television.
