Step 1 : Introduction to the question "In 1951, CBS made broadcasting history by televising the first-ever what?"
...In 1951, CBS became the first network to broadcast a color television program in the United States. The historic broadcast aired on June 25, 1951, using CBS’s field-sequential color system, marking a major technological milestone in television history. Although the system was ultimately incompatible with most black-and-white TV sets—limiting its commercial success—it represented the first time American viewers could watch regularly scheduled programming in color. The breakthrough paved the way for the widespread adoption of color television later in the decade.
