Early television broadcasts

Early television broadcasts began in the 1930s and 1940s, using experimental electronic signals transmitted via radio waves or coaxial cables. Initially limited to small audiences and often in monochrome, these broadcasts featured live performances, news, and programming. Technological advancements improved picture quality and expanded reach, leading to commercial broadcasts in the late 1940s and early 1950s. These early broadcasts laid the foundation for modern television, transforming entertainment, news dissemination, and visual communication worldwide.
