The first public television broadcast was made in 1929 by the newly formed BBC. Not only was it the first television broadcast in the UK, it was indeed the first broadcast in the world. The system in use was developed by John Logie Baird who first demonstrated it in 1925 and 1926. It was a black and white image and made up of just 30 lines. Compare that resolution with the 1080 lines that is becoming the norm for high quality television today.
The broadcasts continued until 1934 when a new television system was introduced in the UK and the BBC switched to the new system.
Television was first broadcast in the UK on November 2, 1936. The BBC began regular television transmissions from Alexandra Palace in London, initially using a mechanical system developed by John Logie Baird. This marked the beginning of public television service in the UK, which would later evolve into the widespread broadcasting we know today.
It was first broadcast on BBC1.
The first television show is widely considered to have been broadcast on July 1, 1941, by CBS. This program featured a performance by a comedian named Bob Hope. However, the first regular television broadcasts began in the United States in 1936, with the BBC launching its regular service in the UK. These early broadcasts laid the groundwork for the television industry we know today.

The BBC's experimental broadcasts had begun earlier, but this was the first official program to be aired to the public.
The first television advertisement broadcast in the UK was for Gibbs SR toothpaste, which aired on September 22, 1955. This historic moment marked the beginning of commercial television in the UK, as it followed the launch of ITV, the first commercial channel. The ad was part of the network's inaugural transmission, introducing viewers to a new era of advertising on television.
Teletext's first broadcast in the United Kingdom was in 1993. Teletext provided teletext services to three separate television channels in the United Kingdom.
The early days of television saw several experimental broadcasts in both the UK and US. The first public and regular broadcasts were started in London by the BBC in 1929. It was a part time service but was linked to the sale of "Televisor" television sets to the public, so was available to any who purchased the equipment.
