The general opinion is that 22nd August was the birth of tv, as this was the date the BBC aired it's first broadcast. In those days the pictures was only 30 scan lines and almost impossible to look at. It would only have been a face, and news was generally the program.
You can go further back to Baird's experimental broadcasts, but the first true programme was on that day.
