January 1, 1960…Rose Parade in Black & White And Color, KTLA

In the late 50s and up to around 1962, KTLA did two local live broadcasts of each parade. The black and white edition came first with the cameras up near the head of the five mile parade route. The live color broadcast had their two RCA TK40s near the end of the route. On the left is a shot of the b/w coverage from the 1960 parade and on the left, a shot of their live color coverage of the same parade a few miles down the road. For more on this unusual event, go to this link and thanks to Early Television for the photos. http://www.earlytelevision.org/ktla_1960.html

    That’s Dick way up on the top. He was terrified of heights and they would always put him up there!

    I love this thread. I grew up in Pasadena only a few blocks from the parade. Thanks for posting the photos, and Happy New Year, all.
