Colour TV: Not A Starter
This was the headline, 61 years ago, on a story in Electronics Weekly’s edition of December 21st 1960.
The story opens:
BBC plans for the starting of colour TV next November and for the introduction in stages of local sound broad-casting have suffered a major setback.
Mr. Reginald Bevins, Postmaster General,told Parliament last week that at present a colour television service was “just not a starter.”
His TV Advisory Committee had advised against its introduction in the near future and the matter would be reported on by the Pilkington Committee.
Mr. Bevins declared, in answer to strong Labour protests, that it would be a “profound mistake”to make decisions on colour in advance of a decision on line standards.

As part of “Delivering for America,” its 10-year plan to achieve financial sustainability and service excellence, the United States Postal Service filed notice with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) requesting price changes to take effect Aug. 29, 2021 that are in accordance with approvals provided by the PRC last year.
As part of “Delivering for America,” its 10-year plan to achieve financial sustainability and service excellence, the United States Postal Service (USPS) filed notice with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) requesting price changes to take effect Aug. 29, 2021 that are in accordance with approvals provided by the PRC last year.
The proposed price changes would raise overall Market Dominant product and service prices by approximately 6.9 percent. First-Class Mail prices would increase by 6.8 percent to offset declining revenue due to First-Class Mail volume declines. In the past 10 years, mail volume has declined by 46 billion pieces, or 28 percent, and is continuing to decline. Over the same period, First-Class Mail volume has dropped 32 percent, and single piece First-Class Mail volume including letters bearing postage stamps has declined 47 percent.
