This is a list of early television stations of the 1920s and 1930s that were among the first in the world.

Some present-day broadcasters trace their origins to these early stations. This article is 150 kilobytes or more in size. ...
It should be noted that all television licenses in the United States were officially "experimental" before July 1941, as the NTSC television standard had yet to be developed, and some American television broadcasters continued operating under experimental licenses as late as 1947, although by then they were using the same technical standards as their commercial brethren. The references in this article would be clearer with a different and/or consistent style of citation, footnoting or external linking. ...
The word broadcast can refer to: Broadcasting, the transmission of audio and video signals. ...
