History
As with most inventions, there is controversy as to who deserves to be considered "the" inventor.
Early experiments in electromechanical television were conducted by Charles Francis Jenkins in the late 1920s in the United States, building on the work of John Logie Baird. Jenkins patented the first practical television set [1] and operated the first television broadcasting station in the US, W3XK, in 1928. Jenkins' system was not commercially successful and was abandoned.
