Yes, the first public demonstration of television in the United States took place in 1939. It was organized by RCA at the New York World's Fair, where viewers witnessed a live broadcast featuring various performances. However, regular commercial broadcasts did not begin until the late 1940s.

When was color added to broadcast television in the US?

The first color broadcasts to the public were in 1953. It was a commercial failure as the new color televisions were not compatible with the existing black and white broadcasts and so to receive color and black and white broadcasts demanded two separate televisions. The service was withdrawn after a few months. In 1955, the NTSC color standard was implemented as a national standard with RCA being the first to broadcast color services. The same color broadcast system has remained in use until the recent change to digital transmission.


What year did the first black and white television come out in the US?

The first demonstrations of television in the US were in 1928 by Philo Farnsworth. It was more than a decade before televisions were made and sold commercially. In 1939, RCA began producing a commercially viable product and this represented the first widely available television. In the UK, broadcasting began in 1929 using John Logie Baird's electro-mechanical system first demonstrated in 1925. It lasted only a few years and electronic systems replaced it during the 1930s. Although televisions were sold commercially during the 1930s in the UK, all broadcasting was stopped in 1939 at the start of World War II. UK television only started up again after 1944.
