BBC tv
John Logie Baird was the first person to demonstrate a working television in March 1925. He chose a London department store for the demonstration. In January 1929, the BBC adopted his television system and began the world's first public television broadcasts. Based on those accomplishments, one has to agree that Baird was successful. In 1928 he also showed off the world's first color television. It never made it to production but it did prove the idea that color television could be created using three primary colors, still used today in all color television systems. In the mid 1930s the BBC adopted a new fully electronic television system. Baird (along with Philo Farnsworth, the American pioneer of television) submitted bids to supply the new system but their proposal was not accepted. Baird was not a popular character within the BBC, seen as too commercially minded by some. This resulted in his achievements being sidelined and he played little part in the development of BBC television from that time onwards.
