These cameras were in use all over the UK but it would be interesting to know what the sales were around the rest of the world as EMI also had an agreement with Thomson to market the cameras.

No, apparently I detected an IVC/EMI insignia, plus (at the left end of the left side) a U.S. spelled "COLOR." And that's not counting the EMI 2001's use in the 1976 movie Network.

please go to Wmaq -tv and click on the table of contents section then go to 1948 to 1968 table of contents. Then scroll down to Roll tape and click. Jorie Lueloff is doing a remote in front of the Picasso thing downtown. What is that color camera? It has a strange lens configuration as well. It is not a TK-41

I always thought that "picasso thing" was suposed to be a baboon, but what do I know.

Regis philben was co host. Wttw or Wls tv may have used them as well. Please post if anyone knows Chicago color broadcast cameras. Also what is that remote color camera on the WMAQ early remote scene with Jorie Luloff?

I saw on eBay a newsletter from what was then WBKB-TV in Chicago (became WLS in 1968) - and there was a picture taken backstage at one of their studios and the GE PE-250 was shown. So that's what Chicago's ABC O&O used for some years.

Found they used RCA tk-630. Anyone ever seen or used one? Kind of ugly.
