1950
after the war, monochrome tv production began in earnest. color tv was the next major development, and nbc once again won the battle. cbs had their electro-mechanical color television system approved by the fcc on october 10, 1950, but sarnoff filed an unsuccessful suit in the united states district court to suspend that ruling. subsequently, he made an appeal to the supreme court which eventually upheld the fcc decision. sarnoff's tenacity and determination to win the "color war" pushed his engineers to perfect an all-electronic color television system that used a signal that could be received on existing monochrome sets that prevailed. cbs was now unable to take advantage of the color market, due to lack of manufacturing capability and color programming, a system that could not be seen on the millions of black and white receivers and sets that were triple the cost of monochrome sets. a few days after cbs had its color premiere on june 14, 1951, rca demonstrated a fully functional all-electronic color tv system and became the leading manufacturer of color tv sets in the us.
