WRGB originally was founded as W2XCW on January 13, 1928, and broadcast from the General Electric facility in Schenectady, New York, using a mechanical TV system. The first experimental TV station in America was popularly known as "WGY Television", after WGY and WMAK were owners of the TV station. Further television experiments continued through the 1930s with two call letter changes: W2XAF from 1932, and six years later to W2XB with all-electronic TV standard created by RCA. Moreover the TV station tested in 1939 on VHF Channel 3, becoming the NBC's first television affiliate for 42 years, and later the New York connection was fulfilled via coaxial cable and eventually by satellite.
