Televised weather forecast. Many sites allege it was the first televised weather forecast. That date doesn't rate a mention on the BBC site, as their first televised weather forecast was earlier that month: On November 14, 1922, the BBC broadcast the first radio weather bulletin to the public when an announcer read a script prepared by the Met Office, and on March 26, 1923, daily radio forecasts began. On November 11, 1936, the world's first television chart was transmitted at the start of a trial series. BBC Television closed down during World War II but, in July 1949, weather maps with captions began to be broadcast again. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/bbcweather/features/50yearsofweatherforecasters.shtml http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/bbcweather/features/50yearsofweatherforecasters.shtml">http://www.bbc.co.uk/50yearsofweatherforecasters.shtml Aug 23 06, 1:48 AM

Well, I can't imagine that they would have missed the death of Buenaventura Durruti on that same day. Aug 23 06, 9:40 AM
