Television and broadcast stations did not exist prior to WW2. TV became popular in the 1950s.


This is incorrect, the last broadcast before World War 2 was actually a Mickey Mouse cartoon.

the below was found on wikipedia, I know this is correct because it shows the cartoon at the National Media Museum in Bradford, UK. At least it did when I last visited..

  • September 1 -- The anticipated beginning of World War II brings television broadcasting at the BBC to an end at 12:35 p.m. after the broadcast of a Mickey Mouse cartoon, Mickey's Gala Premier, various sound and vision test signals, and announcements by presenter Fay Cavendish. It was feared that the VHFwaves of television would act as a good homing signal for guiding enemy bombers to central London: in any case, the engineers of the television service would be needed for the war effort, particularly for development of RADAR. The BBC would resume its broadcasting, with the same Mickey Mouse cartoon, after the war during 1946.
