What happens

Let's Play Reporter is an early American television series. It was an experimental test program broadcast on May 23, May 30 and June 6, 1946. Presumably intended to try out a new concept on television, it was produced by the American Broadcasting Company but aired on DuMont Television Network station WABD-TV. Though only aired on a single station, it nevertheless represents an early example of television programming. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
