As I recall, when color TV came out, it was initially only a network 
phenomenon (and only one network at that -- NBC).  Local color took 
quite a few years to take hold.  In Boston, WHDH-TV channel 5 did 
local color when it came on in 1957.  I don't know when the other 
stations started doing it.  But I believe Red Sox games were still in 
B&W.  Even network news didn't go color until around the mid-1960s.

So I imagine the same thing will be true of HDTV.
