KTLA/First live color telecast of the Tournament of Roses.
KTLA did color-cast the rainy 1955 Tournament of Roses Parade. It was KTLA's second coverage of the parade that day - the first was from the Elk's Club in black and white - the second was this further down the parade route so that the entire parade could be repeated in color. After the announcers (including Stan Chambers) finished their black and white coverage, they were whisked by police escort to the second coverage location to repeat the same. There is no indication that in 1955 NBC repeated its first historic color coverage of the parade done in 1954. KTLA was the first West Coast station to have live color capability when they obtained two TK-40A color cameras during 1954.
