The first film made by RCA and the National Broadcasting Company for the press under practical working conditions, although previous demonstrations of laboratory television have been given. It represented the first showing of a complete program built for entertainment value as well as a demonstration of transmission.

Television program transmission was demonstrated for the press Friday, November 6 by the National Broadcasting Company in a 40-minute program illustrating RCA experimental developments. The pictures were broadcast from the transmitter on top of the Empire State Building, and were received on the 62nd floor of the RCA Building.

Eddie Albert and Grace Brandt in Albert's "The Love Nest" was television's first original drama, and written by Eddie Albert.
