KCBS-TV is the second oldest commercially-licensed television station in California, behind KTLA Channel 5. It was created by Don Lee Broadcasting, which owned a chain of radio stations on the Pacific Coast, and was first licensed by the Federal Radio Commission as an experimental television station under the call sign W6XAO in June 1931. On December 23, 1931 it went on the air, and by March 1933 was broadcasting one hour daily except Sundays. The station was the first to use an electrical scanning system with no moving parts, but broadcast only film footage. It went off the air in 1935, and then reappeared using an all-electronic system with a 300-line image for a month-long demonstration in June 1936. By August 1937, W6XAO had programming on the air six days per week. Live programming started in April 1938.
