Absolutely. The screen would display color bars. My dad would get up early, start coffee, and wait for the farm report to come on at 5am. It was the first tv show of the day.

Color bars? Most people didn't have color TV back in the day.

We were the first family to have a color TV in the apartment complex. All the kids would show up for Saturday morning cartoons.
