Amaya Toman Nowadays, we take it for granted that we have a huge number of TV stations from all over the world to choose from when it comes to television broadcasting, and the content offer is really rich. But it wasn't always like that - today we will remember the first television broadcast in the USA, which was far from the broadcast we know today. But it will also be about the patenting of the first wireless telegraph.

Wireless telegraph patent (1897)
On July 2, 1897, twenty-three-year-old Guglielmo Marconi successfully patented a "wireless telegraph device" in England. Marconi, whose full name was Marchese Guglielmo Marconi, was an Italian-born physicist, inventor, politician, and businessman, and is still credited with inventing the wireless telegraph—despite the fact that the same device was patented earlier by Nikola Tesla. However, the relevant patent was granted to him only after his death. A few weeks after the patent was granted, Marconi founded the Wireless Telegraph and Signal Co. Ltd.
First US television broadcast (1928)
On July 2, 1928, the first standard television station in the United States went on the air. The station was named W3XK and operated under the Jenkins Television Corporation. At first, the broadcasts consisted only of silhouette shots, but over time the station switched to broadcasting classic black and white images, five times a week. The Jenkins Television Corporation operated until 1932 when it was bought out by the Radio Corporation.
