Television was not invented by one person. It took many years and many different people to make television work.
A lot of work on television began in the 1930s. England set up the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) at this time, and in the United States, the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) and the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) began.
In 1936, the CBS put 150 televisions into homes in New York City in order to see if all of the televisions were able to get a show at the same time. This first television show was Felix the Cat.
Much of the work underway at the BBC during the 1930s and 1940s came to an end because of World War Ⅱ. After the war, the BBC fell behind work on television going on in the United States. England had to rebuild (重建) itself after the war.
By 1945, there were 10, 000 televisions in homes in the United States. This number climbed to 6, 000, 000 by 1950 and then to 60, 000, 000 by 1960.
