Question

What happen in April 1939 from the Empire State Building?

Answer 1

Add this :

"NBC began experimental broadcasts from New York's Empire State building as early as 1932. By 1935 the company was spending millions of dollars annually to fund television research. Profits from the lucrative NBC radio networks were routinely channeled into television research."

to this :

"April 30, 1939 : NBC launches a regular public television service with the formal opening of the New York World's Fair by President Franklin Roosevelt (the first of only two appearances he makes on television). Two hours of programs a week, to be received on RCA sets, are intended 'to make the art of television available to the public'."

And the answer should be : NBC broadcasted the first regular public television service.

"The broadcast was transmitted by NBC's New York television station W2XBS Channel 1 (now WNBC-TV channel 4) and was seen by about 1,000 viewers within the station's roughly 40-mile coverage area from their Empire State Building transmitter location. "
