There was TV in 1951?
Yes, my dad bought ours 6/48, 10” table model, $332 (I remember the cost, seemed like a fortune). Babe Ruth’s bier, inside Yankee Stadium, was televised, 8/11/48, 1000’s of people lining up to pay respects. My grandmother had hers in 1947. I saw the ‘47 world series on her set, (Berra hitting the first “pitch hit” homer in world series play).
There was TV in 1929 when FDR went on TV to explain why the stock market crashed.
In NYC, there was. In fact, there was CBS, NBC, ABC, Dumont Network, WOR Channel 9, WPIX Channel 11 and the Jersey station that nobody could get Channel 13.
Wait, is that you, Joe Biden?
