In 1939, the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) brought television to the world during the New York World's Fair, and on February 1, 1940, it conducted the first official network television broadcast in the United States. In 1941, the FCC officially authorized commercial television, transferred television sound from AM to FM, and increased the resolution standards for broadcasts. By 1948, thirty-six television stations were broadcasting and over 1 million television sets were receiving. So many applications for new stations were coming in to the FCC that a freeze on requests was instituted. In 1952, the freeze was lifted and seventy ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) channels were added to those already available. By 1953, nearly four hundred stations were providing coverage to nearly 90 percent of the United States; no medium in history could compare to television in its record-breaking implementation.
