Pelé, the "King of Soccer" promoting the 1971 line of Colorado TV sets ( all B&W ). I have the smaller TV seen on this photo.

No, it is probably just some kind of reference to the Colorado river or the Colorado state in the United States.

Maybe it was hard to get good reception in Colorado. Of course the sets were all B/W. |

Maybe they were DXing Denver from Philly....There were weirder TV DX stories in the 50's like getting BBC here in the states without an antenna.
