A commercial then a news program then, (to back track a little to the first ever show),-

In1928: W3XK, the first American TV station, begins broadcasting from suburban Washington, D.C. The station was an invention of Charles Francis Jenkins, who also aired first, a television commercial, for what, I dont know but,- An interesting side note was that: As Jenkins was also the first to air a television commercial. He was fined by the government for doing so, a practice that was discontinued, unfortunately, as the medium matured. The station grew to later become a 'Network' which I believe was either ABC or CBS, (not sure) but from what I gather the very first "on air " television show other than news and commercials or commercial like performances was a show broadcasted in 1934 called, "A lot of Time", based on the American civil war.
