What happened in 1936?

Answer 1

Far too many things to list but I think the most important is that which happened at 3PM on November the Second.

BBC Television went on the air. The BBC was the first TV service ever, starting on September 30th 1929, as Baird Television but using 2LO, a BBC transmitter using a 30-line mechanical system in red and black low-defenition with flickers. In 1930, it began broadcasting with sound and vision simultaniously, when before you would see a few minutes of a programme and then hear the accompaniment since there was one transmitter only. In 1932, Baird Television became BBC Television and moved to new facilities at Broadcasting House. In 1935, the BBC ditched 30 line and turned Broadcasting House into radio facilities, and Baird Television moved to the Crystal Palace, which meant the BBC had no TV service and once again, Baird's system, (now improved to 1000 line and colour... somehow) was the only TV service. Then in 1936, BBC Television moved to Alexandra Palace and took the lead. The 1936 transmissions began on August the 15th experimentally, broadcasting to RadiOlympia to "save the stands". On November 2nd, Neville Chamberlain and the Postmaster General opened BBC Television using Baird's new 240 line mechanical system and the next day with Marconi-EMI's 405-line system which was electronic, this "Great British Compromise" only continued until February 18th 1937 when Baird's system was dropped.
