The period 1928 to 1934 saw both the rise and the fall of low-definition television broadcasting not only in the UK but also in the USA, Germany and France. Initially, the impetous to establish the new form of entertainment came from the lone inventors. J.L, Baird applied to the British General Post Office for a licence on 4 January 1926, C.F. Jenkins was issued with the Federal Radio Communication's first television licence for station W3XK in 1927, and in 1929 the German Post Office allowed D. von Mihaly the use of the Witzleben transmitter for experimental transmissions with his system.
