Answers:
July 14th 1930 the BBC broadcast the first experimental television play - The Man With The Flower In His Mouth!. Their were earlier, experimental transmissions, but this was the first one that anyone with a TV set could tune into!. Www@Enter-QA@Com
Tuesday July 1st, 1941 -- A famous television history date!. On that day, the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) activated new non-experimental call letters for two stations (WNBT, later renamed WNBC & WCBW) in the United States, and permitted commercial advertising!. It officially marks "DAY ONE" of American television!. Any broadcasting before that date was considered "experimental"!.
Not all stations switched from experimental to commercial at once!. It was a slow process which took years to complete!. By way of a side note, the official start to public "experimental" USA television is April 30, 1939, with the televised opening of the New York World's Fair!. That would make the Fair the first TV show, if you want to talk about the experimental period!.
The WNBT Program card shows what the first day of television was like!. We can use this program card as a guide to several "First" events, as they relate to "Commercial" television's start!. Some examples are:
FIRST GAME show or QUIZ show --- "Truth or Consequences" with Ralph Edwards (This was their debut show)
FIRST show or program on day one --- Baseball game at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn Dodgers vs!. Philadelphia
First Newscaster -- Lowell Thomas, for Sunoco Oil
So sorry, I did all that assuming that you wanted American TV information!. I did a bit more surfing and did not come upon the British stuff!. Again, so sorry!. You could still check out the link and see what they have to say about "universal" TV!. Good Luck!!Www@Enter-QA@Com
