Founders

John Logie Baird was a British engineer who invented television and pioneered the first color television broadcasts, although the technology was later developed further by others. His contributions were crucial in the development of television broadcasting, particularly in color broadcasting.

In 1928 the Baird Television Development Company achieved the first transatlantic television transmission. Baird's early technological successes and his role in the practical introduction of broadcast television for home entertainment have earned him a prominent place in television's history.
