Television was experimented with and broadcast as early as 100 years ago with the first moving pictures being sent out in 1923. The 1936 Summer Olympic Games in Germany were televised.
But the very first commercial television in the US started on July 1 1941, and that day showed the first television commercial. Before that time it was all experimental and commercial free.
Here's that advertisement.
