What was the first worldwide satellite television broadcast?

SOTHC

The Beatles according to http://www.rateitall.com/i-58062-all-you-need-is-love-beatles.aspx A perfect song for its time. Released in the early summer of 1967 which coincidentally had been named the Summer of Love, it represented all that was good with the Hippie movement of the day. The song is significant in Beatle history because it was the song that they performed on the first worldwide satellite television broadcast. A number of well known performers were present for the performance and a film of the broadcast is a time capsule of 1967. [Added text from reference link - McG] May 04 06, 6:08 PM

SENTENTIA

1926 - First Television Broadcast It is regarded by some as man's greatest invention, possibly more life-sustaining than fire and certainly more entertaining than the wheel; it is regarded by others as the Anti-Christ; and it began with Helensburgh-born John Logie Baird. The very first television picture was transmitted by him in 1926 from one room to another. In 1927 he successfully sent a moving image along telephone wires from London to Glasgow, and the following year he achieved the first trans-atlantic television broadcast. http://www.scotclans.com/history/1926_television.html The first satellite television signal was relayed from Europe to the Telstar satellite over North America in 1962. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_television May 04 06, 9:09 PM

Our World was the first live, international, satellite television production, which was broadcast on 25 June 1967. Performers, including opera singer Maria Callas and artist Pablo Picasso, from nineteen nations were invited to perform in separate segments featuring their respective countries, and the two-and-half-hour event had the largest television audience ever up to that date: an estimated 400 million people around the globe watched the broadcast. Today, it is most famous for the segment from the United Kingdom starring The Beatles. Performing at the height of the Vietnam War, the group wanted to spread a message of peace and love to the world. They gave a live performance, transmitted at 8:54 p.m. GMT, performing a new song written by John Lennon, "All You Need Is Love", composed especially for the occasion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_World [Added additional text and reference link - McG] Sep 27 08, 4:47 AM
