...I have an aircheck from WEAF, NBC's New York radio station, from 6 June 1944 (D-Day) that contains a promo spot for an H.V. Kaltenborn special on WNBT that night about the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied France. If that isn't the first radio promo for a TV show, it certainly has to be the oldest existing -- or does anyone know of any older airchecks with similar plugs over either WEAF or WABC (now WCBS)?...
