The first public, scheduled broadcast of television was in January 1929 by the BBC from their studio in London. They used Baird's "Televisor" system and delivered a very limited but timetabled broadcast from that time on.

There were other experimental broadcasts in the years preceding 1929, both in the UK and the US but none that the public could watch on their own television set.

When was color added to broadcast television in the US?

The first color broadcasts to the public were in 1953. It was a commercial failure as the new color televisions were not compatible with the existing black and white broadcasts and so to receive color and black and white broadcasts demanded two separate televisions. The service was withdrawn after a few months. In 1955, the NTSC color standard was implemented as a national standard with RCA being the first to broadcast color services. The same color broadcast system has remained in use until the recent change to digital transmission.
