What was the first ever tv programme?

Answer 1

Jan. 13, 1928. Alexanderson demonstrates the GE system and announces the beginning
of television broadcasting. The pictures were received on sets with 1.5 square
inch screens in the homes of Alexanderson and two board members in Schenectady.
(This is considered by some the first home reception of television in the U. S.) The picture, with 48 lines at 16 frames per
second, was transmitted over 2XAF on 37.8 meters and the sound was transmitted
over WGY radio station.
May 11, 1928. The first regular schedule of TV programming is begun by General
Electric in Schenectady. Programs are transmitted Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday
afternoons from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., using 24 lines.
July 2, 1928. Charles F. Jenkins begins broadcasting the first regular telecasts
designed to be received by the general public.
July 12, 1928. First televised tennis match.
Aug. 13, 1928. WRNY Coytesville NJ becomes the first standard radio station to
transmit a television image (the face of Mrs. John Geloso). It was a 1.5 square
inch image enlarged by a magnifying glass to three inches so it could be viewed
by 500 persons at Philosophy Hall at New York University. Station also operated
W2XAL New York, 9.705 MHz. (WRNY broadcast sight and sound alternately rather
than simultaneously. Viewers would first see the face of a performer and a few
seconds later would hear the voice. The performances took place for 5 minutes
every hour and were designed to lure the radio audience into buying 'televisor'
sets from Pilot. %5BTube: The Invention of Television, by Fisher%5D)
Aug. 22, 1928. WGY simulcasts on radio and TV (WGY, 2XAF and 2XAD) Al Smith
accepting the Democratic presidential nomination. This was the first over-the-air
remote pickup and the first TV news event.
Sept. 11, 1928. First play broadcast by television, 'The Queen's Messenger,' on
W2XAD. (Sound was also broadcast over WGY radio.) Video was on 21.4 {meters;} sound
was on 31.96 meters. The event was reported on page 1 of the New York Times the
next day. (During 1928, Ernest Frederik Werner Alexanderson of General Electric
transmitted daily TV tests over W2XAD.)
1929. Milton Berle appears in an experimental TV broadcast. Film of the appearance
survives.
May 11, 1929. The 'first regularly scheduled TV broadcasts' begin (one source),
three nights per week.
Aug. 20, 1930. The first demonstration of home reception of television, a
half-hour broadcast from the Jenkins station, W2XCR in Jersey City, and the de
Forest station W2XCD in Passaic. Two sets were available in public places and
one in a press suite. (Or Aug. 25 1930)
Nov. 1930. W9XAP Chicago (Chicago Daily News) broadcast the senatorial election
returns. Press release claimed it was the first time a senatorial race, complete
with charts showing the standings of the candidates as the votes were tallied,
was ever televised.
Dec. 7, 1930. W1XAV Boston broadcasts a video portion of a CBS radio program,
The Fox Trappers orchestra program, sponsored by I. J. Fox Furriers. Included
was what is sometimes called the first television commercial, which was
prohibited by FRC regulations.
May 1, 1931. The first marriage is broadcast on TV, on W2XCR New York.
July 21, 1931. W2XAB New York (CBS) begins broadcasting the first regular
seven-day-per-week TV broadcasting schedule in the U. S., 28 hours per week
with live pickups and a wide variety of programs. The first broadcast included
Mayor James J. Walker, Kate Smith, and George Gershwin.
As you can see, for these types of questions, there are no simple answers, it's
a process of events. I left out more than I show here, and decided to stop at the
7 day a week schedule, because that is pretty much where we are today.
