DEMONSTRATION OF ‘’TELEVISOR’’ IN 1926

Scotsman John Logie Baird conducted the first public demonstration of a new fangled invention ...    
    
    
    

On January 26, 1926, John Logie Baird (1888 – 1946) a Scottish
inventor, gave the first public demonstration of a true television
system in London (above), which launched a revolution in the
communication and entertainment fields.

Baird’s invention, a pictorial-transmission machine he called
a “televisor,” used mechanical rotating disks to scan moving
images into electronic impulses. This information was then
transmitted by cable to a screen where it showed up as a low-
resolution pattern of light and dark.

Baird’s first television program showed the heads of two
ventriloquist dummies, which he operated in front of the
camera apparatus out of view of the audience (below).

AFRTS Okinawa 1960 | Okinawa, Tv services, Radio



The American Forces Network can trace its origins to 26 May 1942,
when the
War Department established the Armed Forces Radio
Service (AFRS). A television service was first introduced in 1954
with a pilot station at
Limestone Air Force Base, Maine. In 1954,
the television mission of AFRS was officially recognized and
AFRS (Armed Forces Radio Service) became AFRTS (Armed
Forces Radio and Television Service).
        

   

AFN-Japan’s radio services today consist of AM and FM stereo operations at Yokota Air Base (810 AM & cable FM), MCAS
Iwakuni (1575 AM),
FLTACTS Sasebo (1575 AM), Okinawa
(648 AM & 89.1 FM)
and Misawa Air Base (1575 AM).      

AFN-Okinawa ceased over-the-air analog TV operations along
with all other Japanese TV stations on July 24, 2011.
