When NBC's "experimental" TV station signed on [as "W2XBS"] at the time President Roosevelt (and more important to NBC, its founder, RCA's David Sarnoff) opened the World's Fair in April 1939, there were only a few hundred sets in New York, and those who could afford it saw live remotes of interesting things and events around town (through NBC's mobile unit), local sporting events, discussions, original and adapted plays with small casts, some variety, and films [OLD movies, imports, etc.].
Sorry , he was not the inventor of electronic television. Hungarian Kálmán Tihanyi invented the electronic tv in 1926. UNESCO MEMORY OF THE WORLD Check it!
The first commercial fully electronic TV broadcasts were made by the BBC in the UK in 1936. Baird originally used partly mechanical systems but these were not a success, although they popularised the idea of television. Several other countries, including the USSR, Germany, France and USA, were also experimenting at around the same time.
The Germans invented tv in the 1930s. 1936 the olympic games were broadcasted live by cable to so called "Fernsehstuben" (public viewing rooms) in Berlin. It was planned to offer tv-sets in shops for xmas 39. But the war began and the few already produced tv's came to nazi-officials and then to entertain the troops. German TV ended in the 1940s. One of the first singers on tv ever was Rosita Serrana, the so called nightingale from Chile, and the wonderful operetta singer Lizzy Waldmüller.
Sorry. The Scottish inventor John Baird invented what we call television in 1926. Feel free to actually look that up.
He is widely credited as being the man who invented television. Believe what you will.
Besides television broadcasts were tried in Great Britain in 1935 too and in the USA.
In Germany they might have made the biggest effort to make it commercially viable,which failed since the screen was too small and the public rooms little liked by people in general.
Not true. First mechanical tv was invented by John L. Baird in UK. In the late 20s first test picturses was even broadcasted in the US. The Story, Nazi Germany would have invented tv, is only a rumour, just like that one that the nazis would have invented the "Autobahn" (first cocepts 1926, HaFraBa).
and who invented the rotating disc in the inside of the baird apparatus? Was a patent of Paul Nipkow. Nipkow described the the principle of mechancal television. but he couldn't realize it. anyway the clip has the television as we know it today as topic. electronic television. there wasn't a single person inventing television. it's a russin/german/british/american invention...

When analog TV shuts down next month it would be nice if they had a ceremony on the old 1939 Fairgrounds marking its close.
