2nd October in History
October 2nd

1925 John Logie Baird (Scottish born engineer born at Helensburgh) performed the first test of a working television system. Although Baird's electromechanical system was eventually displaced by purely electronic systems, his early successes earned him a prominent place in television's invention.
The Beatles released their first single, "Love Me Do," in the UK on October 2, 1962. This song marked the beginning of their rise to global fame.
On October 2, 1980, the sitcom "Cheers" premiered on NBC. The show became a massive hit and remains a beloved classic.
