Black and white of color were used for back up in case a station lost the network feed , the cost of making something color that wouldn't be seen is why it's black and white , these also were sent to armed forces radio and tv and other areas that had no color broadcasting , even shows that were color and on film like batman , Jeannie , bewitched , bonanza etc had black and white prints made as a back up , these prints would never be seen or in rare cases aired on a Sunday or Saturday afternoon because the affiliate was showing something else like sports or political or whatever would have replaced what was shown on the network
