Question

when was the first radio / tv signal broadcasted into outer space?

Answer 1

March 1935 - the German government began its national service. This was the first non-experimental public television service.

November 11, 1936 - The first scheduled television broadcasts in the UK began. (The Baird and the EMI systems were rotated on a daily basis until February 4, 1937, when the EMI system was adopted, and Baird's was dropped.)

1939: The first regularly scheduled television broadcasts in the USA began.

1941: The first sponsored television broadcast appeared in the US.

July 1, 1941 - The first commercial TV licenses were issued to WCBW (later WCBS-TV) and WNBT (later WNBC-TV), New York City. (On September 1, 1941, KYW-TV, Philadelphia became the third licensed station for commercial operation.)

W2XBS was one of ten stations that was issued a commerical television license by the FCC on May 2, 1941. On July 1, 1941, it became the first TV station to begin commercial broadcasting under the new call letters WNBT. Everything before this date was considered experimental television. Since that time, WNBT has served New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, which is considered the nation’s #1 market. Their call letters have changed a few times over the years, but they are now known as WNBC.

Answer 4

...the FIRST was probably Marconi's original transmission, or even earlier when he and others were experimenting with what was to become radio.  Some of the signals "leaked", no doubt, into space.  The first INTENTIONAL transmission into space from earth, as far as I know is the one in the ref. website.  

Today, hams (amateur radio operators) do it all the time....they're even trying to bounce signals off comet tails.
