The crowning of the new Queen of England became one of the first international news events to be given complete coverage on television. All three American TV networks plus the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) provided colorful descriptions of the pomp and circumstance. Most viewers saw the coronation in black and white because color TV was not yet the standard of the industry. Quality of the pictures, in fact, was lacking compared to today’s international, and often instantaneous broadcasts. There was no satellite TV transmission at the time. The ‘live’ pictures were relayed by telephone cable. | Ref: 4 |
