Spinal · 03-11-2008, 05:39 PM

The year 1939 saw these significant television firsts:

* The BBC broadcasts the entirety of Magyar Melody live from His Majesty's Theatre. The 175-minute broadcast is the first showing of a full-length musical on television.

* Franklin D. Roosevelt, appearing at the opening of the 1939 New York World's Fair, becomes the first President of the United States to give a speech that is broadcast on television.

* The first baseball game (Princeton vs. Columbia) is broadcast on television, from Baker Field in New York.

* The Walt Disney cartoon Donald's Cousin Gus airs on NBC's experimental station W2XBS (later WNBC-TV) in New York. This marked the first film cartoon to be televised in the United States.

* The first heavyweight boxing match is televised, Max Baer vs Lou Nova, from Yankee Stadium.

* The first Major League Baseball game is telecast, a double-header between the Cincinnati Reds and the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field, in Brooklyn, New York.

* The first televised college football game, Fordham vs Waynesburg College, at Randall's Island, New York.

* The first National Football League game is televised. The Brooklyn Dodgers vs. Philadelphia Eagles at Ebbetts Field in Brooklyn.
