FM didn't require people to throw out their old radios and buy new ones. FM
didn't interfere with existing AM service.

Color TV took 15 years to catch on.

Look at it now.

Color TV didn't require people to throw out their B/W sets and buy an
expensive new color set. Color TV didn't interfere with existing B/W
television services and was still viewable on existing B/W sets.
