Eighty years ago today, on 2 November 1936, the BBC began regular TV broadcasts. Initially, two different broadcasting systems were tested on alternate weeks. John Logie Baird's 240-line mechanical system was deemed inferior and was dropped after just 3 months, leaving the 405-line Marconi-EMI format as the permanent system.
The opening day's festivities were restricted to just two hours which included a variety show featuring Adele Dixon and some Chinese jugglers. There was also the debut of the BBC Television Orchestra.

If you want to learn more about early public TV in the UK then I recommend reading David Attenborough's Life on Air.

First TV sold to public is in 1929, in UK. About 1000 were sold in a few years.

As amazing as this first broadcast was one much remember that only that the first tv sets were expensive which meant only the rich could ever afford them, they were little more than radios with a tiny screen on them - hence they were for a single viewer not the entire family which later became the norm in the 1950's - and broadcasts were rare with only a few programs in a whole week. Ironically today broadcast tv seems to be going *out* since everybody can stream everything from the net.

I still watch broadcast TV because it’s free, and I’m too cheap to pay $70 a month for cable tv .

Most new tech was first used by the rich. My family was "well to do" (But, not really "rich") we had a Betamax in 1979. MOST people didn't get VCRs until the mid 1980s. Hell "VHS" is seen as the quintessential '90s medium, despite its 1977 origin! Same for CDs. This format WAS oh, so 1990s, despite being an early 1980s release. Weird quirk of tech timing. We had a VCR before we had "Cable TV", Despite living in Pennsylvania (where "cable" was virtually invented in the....1940s!) My cousins in the suburbs had cable in the mid 1970s, but since we lived in the city (Pittsburgh, PA) due to the city dicking around with what company they decided to allow to "franchise", We were not even ABLE to get "cable: until 1981! So, I am the only one in my current "circle" to have used a VCR before I used "cable" TV! PS: In Pittsburgh, PA today one can receive over 70 FREE (over the air) TV stations, in addition to over 80 FM and over 50 AM (MW) radio stations that can be heard here. Broadcast is NOT dead, at least not in the "States". There are 1,700 BROADCAST (Free, Over the air) TV stations in the US! And there are over 15,000! BROADCAST (Free, Over the air) radio stations in the US!

Mechanical television was not inferior. In parallel with the first iconoscopes and Braun tubes, it provided a high-quality image that could be projected over a larger area. The quality was achieved by recording the scene on ordinary film, which was then mechanically scanned. The victory of electronic television was mainly in the absence of mechanical elements, size and weight. The image quality did not become apparent until later.

@troysvisualarts 8 месяцев назад

1:14 I believe the picture on the screen is likely a legit picture of the actual broadcast because I see a very faint rapidly rolling black bar on the TV screen which is a trait with filming a TV screen at a different frame rate to the frame rate of the TV. If I am correct then this is the oldest actual BBC kinescope footage!

BBC TV’s news operations still originated from Alexandra Palace until they moved to Television Centre in 1969 (by then, they would be broadcast in color).

While it's safe to say that us "Canucks and Yanks" created "BROADCAST" radio, The Brits WERE ahead of us in being the pioneers of "broadcast" television. The US and the UK were at the same TECHNICAL level as to TV, But the UK went with it as a regular (as opposed to experimental) thing. The war stopped progress in both countries, but there IS NO DOUBT, The Brits were watching regularly scheduled TV broadcasts first! Speaking of Early US television, My grandfather KNEW that TV was going to be HUGE. He bought a TV set in 1949 when our city had only ONE channel!

@jamesslick4790 Год назад

@@ChatGPT1111 Yeah. It happens. Some people can only see what their nation did. I'm a proud patriotic "Yank", But come on, History IS history. The UK had regular TV broadcasts YEARS before the US. The US and the UK both had similar TV technology, BUT our TV stations remained "experimental", whereas the UK made it a regularly scheduled "thing". ALSO, As big as our TV industry is, A lot of well known (and even "classic") American TV shows were (and some still ARE) adaptations of British TV (Telly? LOL) shows. Safe to say that them Brits KNOW how to do TV (Um I mean "Telly")

In 1931, in the USSR, there was a pilot program with scientists. A full-fledged television appeared only in 1957. And that is black and white. Color appeared only since 1970 ... There was only one TV channel "CT of the USSR". Not the state channel appeared only in 1989 was called "2 × 2".

@robertfoster6070 2 года назад

I'm curious as to which frequency the early TV station of 1936 used. I would imagine that it was somewhere between H.F. and V.H.F. to take advantage of the skip wave that sent it across the Atlantic.

@dmfalk 2 года назад

Early broadcasts, at least here in the US, were between 2.3 and 3 MHz.

@ianliston-smith7921 2 года назад

Baird's early mechanical TV tests were done on MW I think. But later SW seems more likely for his claims of transatlantic reception. When Alexandra came into operation with 'proper' all-electronic TV, sound was 41.5 MHz and vision 45.0 MHz. Both were AM, with the TV vision signal being positively modulated. On rare occasions the signals were received all over the world with multi-hop F2 propagation and sporadic-E bouncing it around Europe. I doubt anyone had receivers for the picture outside the UK, but the AM sound would be relatively easy to receive.

@dmfalk 2 года назад

@@ianliston-smith7921 Considering the US had experimental TV broadcasting throughout the 1930s, both mechanical and all-electronic, and several tens of thousands of receivers scattered across the nation, in those areas with receivers along the Atlantic, it certainly wasn't unheard of to receive European broadcasts during E-skip... I think there's some surviving film footage of skip reception prior to the war. I'm not sure about what bands were used, but I do know that mechanical TV experiments were done above the 1500-1700kHz police band (in use at that time), later moved to the 2.3-3MHz bands, and eventually to the 35MHz band for HD electronic TV. FM audio wouldn't be the standard until after the war. (The longest continuously broadcasting TV station in the US is KTLA, Los Angeles, with a history going back to 1933, all-electronic from the start. Even the RCA/NBC experimental broadcasts in New York didn't start until 1936!)
