Beginning
The world's first regularly operating television network began serving New York, Philadelphia, Schenectady and Washington last week. Opening night, NBC televised a speech by FCChairman Charles R. Denny (from Washington), a variety show, some boxing bouts from Manhattan's Madison Square Garden, a film of Arturo Toscanini conducting the NBC Symphony.
