The Day the First Public TV Started

 


On November 2, 1936, something very exciting happened in London, England. It was the day the first public television service started! This means it was the first time people could watch TV shows at home.

Before this day, people couldn’t watch moving pictures in their houses. They could only listen to the radio, which had sound but no pictures. But on that day in 1936, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) showed the first TV program on screens that some people had in their homes.

The TV shows were black and white, with no color, and the picture was not very clear. Only a few people had TVs, because they were new and expensive. The programs were very simple, like news, music, and sports. Still, people were amazed! They loved seeing moving images and hearing sound at the same time.

From that small start in 1936, television grew very popular all around the world. Now, almost every home has a TV with lots of colors and hundreds of channels. It all started on that special day in London, almost 100 years ago.
