I remember growing up in the Projects in the early 1990s Antenna was all we had.. So NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX and PBS was the only 5 channels.. Even back then if the President did a *"State Of The Union"* your ass might as well go outside.. Unless your family was middle class or rich then you could afford Cable TV which my friend's family had cause his Dad worked at a high paying job.. I use to go to his house and play videogames and watch Pro Wrestling on Saturdays at 5:05 central standard time.. I started becoming a fan of Pro Wrestling by that point..

It's like finding a needle in a haystack. Some of these programs are lost forever unless 1 person was Kineiscope the show. That was the case with Game 7 of the 1960 World Series. Until about 20-30 years ago, the broadcast footage of the game was lost forever due to the networks not viewing games as high priority for preservation so they would just film over them. But Bing Crosby who was a minority owner of the Pirates, was so superstitious that he flew him and his wife to Paris to listen to it on the radio and had a Kineiscope of the game made. So unless someone were to have decided to keep a Kineiscope of a program and kept it safe, all we would have to go off of is eye witness testimony and possible Radio recordings

The first Canadian TV station was in Montreal in Sept 1952 so the info was right. First live ice hockey game was a month later, Canadiens vs Red Wings (only 3rd period so not to hurt ticket sales). Radio-Canada (french version of CBC) showed live wrestling from Verdun Auditorium (Southern part of Montreal), then from the Montreal Forum where the Wednesday show Les Mercredi de la Lutte would draw 1.5 million viewers in mid50's for stars Yvon Robert, Edouard Carpentier, Johnny Rougeau, Jack Britton (Gino Brito's dad), Mad Dog Vachon, Little Beaver, etc.

To answer their question about TV in Toronto, television broadcasts from the CBC began on September 6, 1952, with the opening of Montreal's, CBFT, and Toronto's CBLT. So Brian might be surprised by that, but it's correct. Mind you, Cable TV in Canada had about an 80% penetration rate by ~1975; the US at that time might have had 40%, if that. And thanks to that cable penetration, we got to see a lot of US wrestling from Buffalo and Rochester as well as our local stuff (and "bicycled" film from Vancouver that was broadcast a week after-the-fact on both Kitchener's and one of the Toronto stations). We got spoiled, right into the early Expansion era, because by then, we were also getting Stampede, Lutte Internationale, AWA and NWA Toronto (which by that time was more or less a spin off of Crockett), as well as WWF (and there were two or three WWF broadcasts then, too).

Jim's entirely correct about the doubtfulness of a surviving kinescope. I've read enough television histories to conclude that "kinnys" really hadn't been sufficiently developed as a reliable technological tool by Feb. 1947. The films that have survived, such as the rare DuMonts from this period, were very crude and "ghosty." And these were from around or after 1948. No recorded kinnys were made from the RCA television exhibit at the '39 World's Fair, either because all the research was based on the broadcast, not the preservation of programming. NBC recorded kinescopes of, say, Milton Berle's Texaco Star Theater, and these were shipped west for rebroadcast in the Los Angeles and San Francisco markets.

They were one of the first companies to produce 1st generation videotape technology. I just recently saw a 70 year old kinescope of NBC'S MEET THE PRESS with a 34 year old John F.

Amazingly, the concept of the television used to appear on the Atlantic City boardwalk in the year 1919-1927. There was absolutely no sound, bad picture quality, and God knows what type of content was shown back then, but Boardwalk Empire has an episode that simulated a 1920s man reaction to a TV. I think he went inside of a booth, similar to a picture booth, and images were shown one after another in a primitive technological way.

Closes we LEGALLY got to that was the video game called "Showdown: Legends of Wrestling" (also known as Legends of Wrestling 3. Showdown was the third and final game in that series) for Playstation 2 and original Xbox during 2004. It covers wrestlers from the 70's, 80's, 90's. It's roster was almost all the major legends that were NOT with WWE during 2004. For the 70's that game had Bruno Sammartino (who was also one of the dominant wrestlers of the 60's), Superstar Billy Graham, Killer Kowaski, The original Shiek, Ivan Koloff, Ivan Putski, Bob Backlund (I don't remember to well, but I THINK you could switch him back and forth between his late 70's good guy look and his early 90's Evil Mr.Backlund look) Fritz Von Erich (granted, Fritz Von Erich is more of a 50's / 60's wrestler but wrestled in the 70's) Harley Race in his 70's look, and some others. For the 80's, they had Hulk Hogan in his red / yellow, Ultimate Warrior, Kerry Von Erich, Rowdy Roddy Piper, King Kong Bundy, Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase, Ricky The Dragon Steamboat, Mr.Wonderful Paul Orndorf, the Road Warriors, Sting (primarily in his late 90's "Crow" look, but I THINK his late 80's / early 90's classic "surfer" look is somewhere in the game) and several others. You also have some guys who became well known singles wrestlers during the 90's like Bret Hart, Eddie Guerrero, Sid Vicious, Sabu, etc. There are a lot more wrestlers (it's a pretty big roster. They even threw in Jerry The King Lawler and Andy Kaufman so you can have the two of them face off. LOL). I liked the game since you could have Bruno Sammartino and Hulk Hogan, both in their primes, in a match against each other and do other wild matches. Really good game (Showdown: Legends of Wrestling is so much better than the earlier two Legends of Wrestling games). Unfortunately, the game's owner went out of business just as the game released and WWE soon after signed TONS of wrestling legends from the 80's to legends contracts and did their own Legends of Wrestlemania game with 80's wrestlers in order to keep other video game companies from doing another Showdown: Legends of Wrestling game.

The part I don't get is why anyone, even a big company would have a TV in 47'. A little 20 inch TV had to cost more than a car at that time and there's no shows airing at that time. Like Jim said, the first TV station in the area was just starting to test their equipment. So why would any company want a TV? What would be it's purpose at that time? A couple of years later I could understand. The TV station was airing content by then, but to own a TV before there was even a TV station seems like a waste of money. Was there already a station in New York and they could pick up signals from that maybe?
