Thanks, Jerome! The exhibit seems very well organized by time line, with a great variety of artifacts.

One picture has a fellow in a green shirt doing the green-screen weather - that's a no-no!

During the early days of color, the local Chicago NBC (RCA) owned station, WNBQ, was producing all local live programs in color. At the time, they could do a much cruder blue-screen chroma-key. They had a mid-day variety show on which they did one musical number where the female singer's dress was deliberately made of blue material, which then keyed in wild abstract patterns during her song.
