Little curiosity. The first experimental broadcast of Italian TV in 1939 was attended by only three viewers: the king, Mussolini and the Pope

Meanwhile In Asia Japan - 1 Feb 1953 Philippines - 23 Oct 1953 Thailand - 24 Jun 1955 South Korea - 12 May 1956 Hong Kong - 29 May 1957 China - 1 May 1958 India - 15 Sep 1959 Taiwan - 28 Apr 1962 Singapore - 15 Feb 1963 North Korea - 3 Mar 1963

Fascinating video. I had no idea that so many countries had fledgling TV services prior to World War 2. I hadn't thought the infrastructure would have been in place then, as radio was still a relatively primitive medium for a lot of poorer and politically regimented countries.

8:07 Ukraine started regular broadcasts in 1951 with a test broadcast in 1939. In 1965 they just added a logo

The BBC started the world's first regular high definition (for the time, 405 lines Marconi all electronic system together with briefly Baird's partly mechanical 240 lines system) television service. By regular service, I mean this was an ongoing rather than an experimental service meant to be viewed by people in their own homes on TV sets they had purchased. A full range of programmes were produced in studio, plus outside broadcasts covering news, sports and events, with a programme schedule published in the Radio Times and some newspapers. The service originally covered the area in and around London only and closed down in 1939 for the duration of World War 2 reopening in 1946. From 1949 the service was extended to cover the English midlands and expanded during the 1950's to cover most of the UK. Experimental TV broadcasts in the UK actually began in the late 1920's and continued through to the mid 1930's using crude mechanical broadcasting systems, with TV pioneer John Logie Baird being allowed to use the BBC's radio transmitters to broadcast this experimental service to the public. Many of those interested in these early tv broadcasts had an interest in radio in general as a hobby and often built their own primitive tv receiving sets themselves.

Absolutely brilliant!!!

Amazing video! So interesting!!!!!!!

Really fascinating video. I'm sure there will have been regions that first got TV, and colour, far later than these dates of course. For example, although BBC2 started colour transmissions first in 1967, several of the smaller ITV companies around the country were still black-and-white until well into the 1970s, with Channel TV finally going colour in 1975.

It's interesting how quickly the Dutch and the Finns went from launching their own TV channels to having full colour transmissions and yet other countries launched in the 50s or 60s did not gain colour broadcasts until the late 70s, 80s or mid 90s

¡Excelente material de archivo audiovisual! ¡Felicitaciones por tu trabajo y su difusión! ¡Saludos desde Argentina!🌎

Bravo, this is brilliant and interesting!

In Spain, the first TV broadcast was made by Philips Spain during an exhibition at Barcelona in 1948. There was a camera connected to a TV, the distance between them was 30 metres.

Excellent!

Do you know where the sound from 12:24 came from?

this one was very good, could you do a world TV timeline sometime please?

9:57 what is this etv sound

You should do one for Oceania. BTW the Europe one is awesome

A little mistake for MONACO in colour : the first TV program in colour on TMC is on the 24th of december 1973 (and not in 1967).

I never would have expected to see Albania having television before either Ireland or Norway.

Really cool

The soundtrack of the Rai opening theme is "Tutto cangia, il ciel s’abbella" from the opera "Guglielmo Tell" by Gioacchino Rossini

2:08 Because of one time when I tried to watch German TV, when they said "Hier ist das deutsches Fernsehen" my brain immediately thought "mit den Tagesschau"

16:26 There’s a slight goof here, Armenia turned coloured on the previous slide before reverting to grey on that slide. It would become colored again on the next slide.

Guess the national anthem from the video Part 1: 0:48 0:56 1:04 1:21 1:41 1:50 2:12 2:21 2:38 2:47

the music for the ZDF one was actually from a news intro

About Austria… the introduction date of tv is correct. Regarding color introduction I‘ve done a lot of researches in the past years, but most likely most of color tv by ORF was introduced at November 2nd 1972 as it was the date the main news „Zeit im Bild“ broadcasted in Color the first time. From that date newspaper listed most of the programs with F (Farbe). Some singular programs (mostly documentations, parliament live sessions and some other monthly programs) until 1974 remained in black and white, that’s true. The date in 1975 is referred to the program „Aktenzeichen XY ungelöst“ when it was broadcasted for the first time in color, it was probably the very last program in West Germany, Austria and Switzerland (it was a Eurovision program between those 3 countries) broadcasted in black and white.

Please do a video for asia including south asia, south east asia and asia Pacific

actually, Georgia started color TV in 1968, but only in Tblisi

Where did you got the video in france 2 of its color broadcasting ?

17:23 The Kazakhs are so superhuman that they invented color television in 198 before their own television appeared. And they found out about him only in 1981

Belgium was a tad bit late too in 1971... considering that their neighbours had it since 67,

WHAT!!!! italy didn't have colour TV until 1977!!! by then all of the uk had colour

Why did you play Czech anthem with Slovak television? Even during Czechoslovakia the anthem had 2parts,Czech one and Slovak one

In Italy 🇮🇹 until 1977 the colour broadcasts from abroad were available only in the border areas: from 🇫🇷 in Aosta Valley, Piedmont and West Liguria; from 🇨🇭 in Lombardy; from 🇦🇹 in Alto Adige/Südtirol and from Yugoslavia in Friuli-Venezia Giulia

In case of Poland, the Experimental TV Station of Ministry of Telecommunications (predecessor of TVP) launched their broadcast on 25th October 1952. However, the real date of launch of TVP was on January 23, 1953, when they began to broadcast regularly. It firstly broadcasted only on Fridays, later also on Tuesdays, later (since 1955), Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, later (since 1956) on Sundays and, since 1961 (eight years after the launch), everyday. During 1960s, lesser known colour TV tests were broadcasted. But, in 1969, they made a first official broadcast in colour (they aired a "Colonel Wołodyjowski" movie), later, they began to broadcast the SECAM system (that was the TV colouriser, from France) in 1971 (year earlier, they began to broadcast TVP2).

You should do one for Latin America

How about NBC/CBS/ABC/Fox/CW stations in New York state?

You did a timeline when different European nations started their own TV broadcasting network/services and one when these first started colour broadcasts. *Now* have a *timeline* when these national broadcasters started services in *stereo!*

Wait... TVP started brodcasting in 1952 Polskie Radio in 1924

There was Baird in 1928 before all this. This was commecial television, not only experimental.

Oh no... Current is gone... :( R.I.P Current.

Didn't Hungary have a television back in the 1930s? I've watched Hungarian TV news intros from 1938 to 1945. What criteria does this video specifically have?

Can you extend it with the commencement of 16:9 please?

La première démonstration publique de télévision mécanique à 30 lignes a lieu le 14 avril 1931. Le rendu d'image est meilleur que celui de Baird grâce à la mise au point du système du « point lumineux mobile » et l'utilisation d'une caméra à tambour à miroirs de Weiller par l'ingénieur René Barthélemy, responsable du laboratoire radioélectrique de la Compagnie des compteurs (CdC) de Montrouge. Chargée de la radiodiffusion française, l'administration des PTT mène quelques expériences rudimentaires de télévision dès décembre 1931 en diffusant des émissions expérimentales de 30 à 45 minutes à horaires variables du lundi au samedi avec du matériel Baird depuis l'émetteur en ondes moyennes de Radio PTT. Le système Barthélemy est officiellement préféré à celui de Baird, de par la plus grande stabilité des images, pour la poursuite des émissions expérimentales en 1932. Le ministre des PTT, Henri Queuille, autorise alors la CdC à poursuivre ses expériences en utilisant l'émetteur de l'école supérieure des PTT situé au 103 rue de Grenelle et attribue à la compagnie un studio rudimentaire au 93 de la même rue. Barthélemy y poursuit ses expériences avec une nouvelle caméra à disque de Nipkow qui offre des possibilités de prise de vue bien meilleures qu'avec le système précédent. Les émissions sont diffusées en 30 lignes le mardi et le vendredi à 17h00 par deux émetteurs, les images par l'émetteur en ondes moyennes de l'école supérieure des PTT sur la longueur d'onde de 431 mètres et le son par l'émetteur de la CdC à Montrouge relié au studio par une ligne téléphonique. Ces émissions expérimentales ne touchent qu'un public d'amateurs d'innovation technique très restreint qui bricolent des postes récepteurs connectés à un poste de radio, se constituant ainsi un récepteur de radiovision[N 1]. Parallèlement, BBC Television Service diffuse un programme expérimental mais régulier de télévision depuis le 22 août 1932, les émissions ayant lieu du lundi au vendredi de 11h00 à 11h30, puis la nuit en ondes moyennes sur 205 mètres aux heures où les programmes radiophoniques de la BBC sont terminés. Le nouveau ministre français des PTT du Gouvernement Flandin, Georges Mandel, assiste, lors d'une visite chez le directeur général de la British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) fin 1934, à une retransmission en direct du Derby d'Epsom sur un Televisor[1] mis au point par John Logie Baird.

I can’t understand how in Spain we received colour signal from France before 1972 if we had different color systems, Secam and Pal. Perhaps near the borders and having a secam tv set. By the way, the first transmission in color in TVE was in 1969 broadcasting the color signal all over the continent for the Eurovision Song Contest, here wasn’t possible, it’s true, but I suppose like in 1971 in Ireland.

You do one for Africa

Do Malaysia Please 🇲🇾

Mistakes: For Czech Republic you should have put Československá televize instead of Československá televízia. The latter is Slovak. You could have played the Croatian anthem for Croatia, the Serbian anthem for Serbia and the Bosnian anthem in 1992 for Bosnia.

Actually Lichtenstein got a broadcaster in 1992

next do Asian TV Timeline

Wow its funny that every country that border Greece got tv first, and even Cyprus

TVP 1 since 1952

Why didn't you use the lovely colour intros for the ARD

4:15 Cuando Empezo Televisión Española

San Marino and Andorra only in the mid-90s? And Liechtenstein only in the late-2000s?? Geez... why so late? 🤔 I mean, I'm not one to talk, I'm from Portugal lol. Our first colour transmission was in 1975 (with the help of some French and German friends who let us experiment with their Secam and PAL systems) and we fully-converted in 1980. Although, in all fairness, this only happened after the downfall of the dictatorship in 1974 (which they couldn't care less about colour transmissions when they were in office). And if that wasn't enough, we were going through an economic crisis at that time. So yeah, I hope that explains the lateness lol

Proszę o 3 część: włączenie DVB-T/T2 oraz 4: wyłącznie analogu. Jeśli to nie nastąpiło to będzie podana planowana data.

11:08 Swedish åland silands? Last time i cheked they were finlands since our independence. They speak swedish there so i do understand the misinterpretation. As a finn, just a little bit annoyed. But great work anyways

Czecoslovakia in 1973 gets colour tv Meanwhile: TIME TO CREATE CLOCKMAN!

What is the Armenian song?

6:42 I don't think this was the ident in 1960. The video that contains this footage is from 1986.

4:19 Telediaro

Do Asian TV Timeline please

do Asia or Africa please,

The Belgian NIR started transmissions in 1930 already, not in 1948.

For Montenegro, North Macedonia and Slovenia, you played their own national anthems, but for Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo and Serbia you played the Yugoslav anthem "Hej, Sloveni". Why is that?

can you make for asia please

Italy was in late for Tv color cause to quarrels between the political parties during 70's

1:14 9:40 Source?

10:23 s Ukrainian TV Logo is Upside down!

6:24 WHATS THAT DAMN SONG

TMC is first Rede Globo Colony

what was the wait for portugal?

Incorrect anthem for Romania at 17:30

golly good gosh this is the best map ever

8:50 Colour TV started in Germany, not Britain. Without the Germans inventing and perfecting it, the PAL colour system would not be available to *ANY* country's TV broadcasters, state-owned or private commercial.

DFF1 startup & closedown

Convaincu par cette démonstration et de l'intérêt de cette invention pour l'avenir, mais aussi très conscient que l'instabilité ministérielle doit l'amener à rapidement imprimer sa marque sur la lourde administration des PTT dont il a la charge en la modernisant, Georges Mandel décide d'inaugurer au plus tôt un service public régulier et expérimental de télévision en France. Il se rend en mars 1935 à la CdC afin de mesurer l'état d'avancée des recherches[2]. René Barthélemy lui fait une démonstration de sa nouvelle caméra mécanique à disque de 60 lignes de définition (25 images par seconde), de son nouveau télécinéma (dont il est l'inventeur) en 180 lignes, ainsi que d'un poste récepteur en 60 lignes à tube cathodique, tube dont la CdC vient de lancer la fabrication. Il l'informe également de ses travaux en cours sur une caméra en 180 lignes. Pressé de réaliser son projet, le ministre accorde à Barthélemy les moyens réclamés pour sa réussite. L'amphithéâtre de l'école supérieure des PTT, situé dans les locaux du ministère des Postes et télécommunications au 103 rue de Grenelle, est aménagé en studio de télévision dès le 17 avril 1935 et ses gradins sont démontés pour l'agrandir. La caméra mécanique à 60 lignes de la CdC est placée dans la pièce adjacente, derrière une vitre isolante à double épaisseur destinée à masquer le bruit du moteur qui fait tourner le disque de la caméra. Cette même pièce abrite également l'émetteur 60 lignes de 500 watts conçu par la Compagnie des compteurs. Le projet prévoit un émetteur ondes courtes sur la tour Eiffel et une définition de 180 lignes à terme, dès que Barthélemy aura finalisé ses travaux. Mille invités du ministre, personnalités, journalistes, et industriels, se pressent dans le studio du 103 rue de Grenelle le vendredi 26 avril 1935 pour assister à la première émission officielle de télévision française régulière transmise par radio avec une définition de 60 lignes[3]. Il est 20 h 15 quand, sur le petit écran verdâtre, apparaît le visage de la comédienne et amie du ministre, Béatrice Bretty, sociétaire de la Comédie-Française, avec à ses côtés, Jean Toscane, la voix la plus célèbre de Radio PTT, et René Barthélemy. Lèvres et yeux maquillés en noir pour les besoins de la télédiffusion, Mlle Bretty raconte sa dernière tournée en Italie avec la troupe[4] : « Nous avons fait un beau voyage... ». Ce sont les premiers mots diffusés à la télévision française. Cette première émission de télévision est diffusée en direct jusqu'à 20 h 30 sur la fréquence de 175 mètres en ondes moyennes dans un rayon de 100 km. Radiovision-PTT, première chaîne de télévision française, vient de naître[5] ,[6].

With Ukra(i)inske Telebachennya launch in 1951, began regular broadcasting in 1956! It's not 1965.

Hey guy euro 2024 in Germany 😊

TVR was launched in 1966 not 1970s

не знал, что в беларуси проверяли цветное телевещание

Mi Abuela Tenía 5 Añitos

Germany had bigger borders before WW2.

Bulgaria color since 1972 very true. Romania and Turkei were black and white up to 1983 and 1984 more than 10 years later than Bulgaria. Lichtenstein had no color up to 2008???

Why both bosnia croatia and serbia uses polands anthem?

About next asian

Lmao albania (the poorest country in terms of gdp) got tv before Ireland!

Television in Ukraine was introduced in 1951
