W.B. - somewhere I have a GE ad for their PE-240 color film camera that says (in the ad) that this is the only color film camera "used by 3 of the 4 US television networks". I assume they are referring to ABC, CBS, and PBS, (then known as NET). For obvious reason, NBC did not use the camera.
As far as CBS ever using that GE PF-7 color film scanner system, I wonder is GE ever sold or even made any of them! I never heard of any ever being used. I have an old GE ad from the late 1950's that shows Syracuse television station WSYR-TV ch. 3. using just about everything GE made, B&W cameras, monitors, film islands, etc, in otherwords, a total GE station. Yet, they ended up getting a RCA TK-26 color film camera around that time or in the early 60's. Go figure!
