This is the oldest surviving color videotape recording in existence. President Dwight D. Eisenhower in color for the first time as he dedicates NBC's WRC-TV color television studios in Washington D.C. on May 22, 1958. Bonus videos: NBC peacocks and ABC and CBS color presentation logos from the 1950's-60s. The programs starts in black and white, and switches to color later.
NOTE: Color motion picture film was introduced in the 1920s. Motion picture film is a completely different medium than electronic videotape. Black and white videotape recording from electronic television cameras was invented by Ampex Corporation and introduced in 1956. Color videotape recording from electronic color television cameras was introduced in 1958. This videotape is the oldest surviving color videotape recording.
Also on my YouTube channel: "The Edsel Show" starring Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra, the oldest surviving videotape recording from October 13, 1957 (black and white).
