W9XK Experimental Television at Iowa
Description
An account of the resource
Prime-time TV in America didn’t start in a laboratory at General Electric, RCA or AT&T, but instead at the corner of Dubuque Street and Iowa Avenue in Iowa City. W9XK, the University of Iowa’s experimental television station, went on the air January 25, 1933, with a weekly or twice-weekly schedule of lectures, music, and drama. It was the first educational TV station in the U.S. This collection, featuring over 100 items, includes photographs, correspondence, and articles chronicling W9XK’s brief but significant history. Materials are from the University of Iowa Archives, Department of Special Collections. No video or film footage of W9XK’s broadcasts is known to exist today.

Description
An account of the resource
Prime-time TV in America didn’t start in a laboratory at General Electric, RCA or AT&T, but instead at the corner of Dubuque Street and Iowa Avenue in Iowa City. W9XK, the University of Iowa’s experimental television station, went on the air January 25, 1933, with a weekly or twice-weekly schedule of lectures, music, and drama. It was the first educational TV station in the U.S. This collection, featuring over 100 items, includes photographs, correspondence, and articles chronicling W9XK’s brief but significant history. Materials are from the University of Iowa Archives, Department of Special Collections. No video or film footage of W9XK’s broadcasts is known to exist today.
