Abstract: A survey, published in 1971, was conducted of the density and color balance of selected television films broadcast in 1968. From this work recommendations were made aimed at improving consistency in color balance of films intended for television. This second survey, made in 1972, shows that there has been an improvement in the consistency of color balance of television films, and a general improvement in the photographic quality of television entertainment films. However, these improvements are offset, particularly in the case of film commercials, by a tendency toward prints having insufficient density in important subject areas. An increase is noticed in the practice of introducing large, blank-white areas in the scene, which cause problems in the reproduction of these films on television.
