The Television Ghost was a 15-minute murder mystery show that aired from 1931 to 1933 on W2XAB, an experimental station owned by CBS (now known as WCBS-TV). It was also simulcast on radio stations W2XE and WABC (now known as WCBS-AM, not to be confused with the later WABC-AM). It was one of the very first television programs and because of the limitations of early television technology, the show was never recorded, and all that's left of it is two publicity photos and a few mentions in newspapers as old as the show itself.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In each episode, a ghost played by George Kelting would describe how he was murdered. | |
