"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.
...
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."
It seems like there could have been a news program coming out of Schenectady but it clearly states that the simulcast was the "first TV news event". (Maybe "TV news event" and "TV news" are different things.)

On a regular basis I think it might have been NBC and the "Camel News Caravan", anchored by John Cameron Swayze.
