On August 26, 1939, the first televised Major League baseball game is broadcast on station W2XBS, the station that was to become WNBC-TV. Announcer Red Barber called the game between the Cincinnati Reds and the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, New York.

The teams split the wins, with the Reds winning 5-2 for the first and the Dodgers winning 6-1 second. The broadcast was connected to the 1939 World's Fair, being held in New York. . At this time, TV was so new there were only about 400 television sets in the area. No regular programming existed yet.
