BBC Television Service

The BBC Television Service was the original British television broadcaster launched by the British Broadcasting Corporation in 1936. It marked the beginning of regular TV broadcasting in the UK, offering scheduled programming to viewers. After a pause during World War II, it resumed and evolved over time, eventually becoming known as BBC Television, which is now part of the broader BBC's media services. The service played a key role in developing television broadcasting standards and content in the UK, laying the foundation for the modern television industry in Britain.
