Don Lee Broadcasting…Pioneering West Coast Television

KTLA and Klaus Landsberg were not the only ones innovating in Los Angeles in the 1930s. There was also Don Lee who’s station W6XAO (now KCBS) is credited with airing the first movie and the first news film on television. This short video covers the whole story very well.

Here is an interesting pictorial history and article I thought you would enjoy from my friend Steve McVoy at the Early Television Museum. Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee
