Elvis Presley became the first entertainer to hold a live broadcast via satellite with his Aloha from Hawaii concert on January 14, 1973.
It was watched by more people than the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing.
EDIT: Congratulations GreenMachine on this thread reaching an amazing 100 pages.

On May 25, 1977
The film Star Wars is released.
Also on this day Liverpool win the European Cup for the first time in Rome by beating Borussia Moenchengladbach 3-1....
And I missed seeing it!!!! I was away on an activity centre holiday with the rest of the lads in my class as it was our last year in Primary School.., in a back of beyond part of North Wales called Pentrellyncymer..and the place didn’t have a television! What made it even worse was that our class teacher drove home to watch the match...the bar steward.

Day after my birthday (not sure when I saw Star Wars but can look it up as I have diaries going back some thirty years) and in 1977 I think that was when I started my lifelong support of Liverpool. One day in the 90's I was doing a course Employment Training or ET and I happened to look down on the pavement and saw a badge from that game so I thought I'm 'aving that and it went into my vast badge collection

That week in 1977 I can’t forget..,watching the FA Cup Final on the Saturday..losing to two jammy goals against Man United. Going away on the school activity holiday which had a river nearby..fell in the damn thing at least twice..miss the biggest game in Liverpool’s history at that point..had to listen to Radio 2 on a crackly radio...no bloody telly! Can you believe that?
Then get home on the Friday and get nothing but “was a brilliant game” etc etc etc..Grrr..

High definition television actually started in 1936.
High definition was used to describe revolutionary 405 line broadcasting.

The BBC went off the air two days before Britain declared war on Germany in 1939, the last programme to be shown was a Mickey Mouse cartoon. When broadcasting resumed in 1946, the first programme to air was a repeat of the same cartoon.
