The first universal television program

October Saturday (September 30, 2006) was an important day in the history of television as it saw the first universal television broadcast. The first satellite TV transmission took place in July 1962 when images of U.S. Vice President Lyndon Bain Johnson were beamed to Britain and France via the satellite Telstar. Similarly, the first global TV broadcast happened on June 25 1967 when the European Broadcasting Union produced the live two-hour international satellite television production Our World for a global television audience of 500 million, most of whom had tuned in to see the live performance by the Beatles who performed All you need is love. Cosmic Connexion was conceived by channel Arte and is the first universal television programme addressing all of the inhabitants of the cosmos. And what did they see? Two nude human presenters who explained how the human body was created, the main elements of daily human life and conveyed messages from humans to an extra terrestrial audience of hopefully, more than zero. The programme was simultaneously transmitted into space by a French National Centre for Space Studies (CNES) antenna.
