The first television commercial for a product was for Bulova Watches.
The first television commercial broadcast occurred on July 1, 1941, for Bulova, a watch company. The advertisement lasted 10 seconds and was aired just before a program on New York station WNBT (now WNBC). This landmark event marked the beginning of commercial television in the United States, paving the way for the advertising industry as we know it today.
Broadcasting in America began in the early 20th century, with the first radio broadcast occurring on December 24, 1906, by Reginald Fessenden. However, regular commercial broadcasting started in the 1920s, with stations like KDKA in Pittsburgh broadcasting the first scheduled radio program in 1920. Television broadcasting followed in the late 1940s, with the first public demonstration of a television system taking place in 1927, leading to the first commercial television broadcasts in the late 1930s.
