What year was the first tv programme held?

Answer 1

There are several answers to the question depending on how a television programme is defined. The very first working television picture was shown in Selfridges, a department store in London in March 1925 by John Logie Baird. It would be difficult to class this as a "programme" as it was a live demonstration of the technology rather than anything remotely looking like a production.

There were various other demonstrations that soon followed, both by Baird and by others who worked on similar developments.

However, the very first public, scheduled and regular broadcast was in 1929 when the BBC used Baird's system to begin television transmissions within the UK. The transmissions were part time and seen only by those who could afford the equivalent of £10,000 ($15,000) to buy a Baird Televisor (and those who managed to get an invitation to the homes of those who had bought one).
