It was July 1, 1941. The Brooklyn Dodgers were facing off against the Philadelphia Phillies at Ebbets Field in New York. Before the first pitch was broadcast on NBC-owned WNBT (now WNBC), the first true TV commercial aired in the US.
It was a short, simple spot for Bulova Watch Co. It focused on a watch as the second hand ticked, ,according to Ad Age. It cost the company just $9: $4 in air charges and $5 in station charges, the publication reported.
