Good try Pkagel !
With the rapid rise of TV in the 50's advertisers wanted their names inserted in program titles....Texaco Star Theater being one.
BUT it wasn't the first....by about 10 years !

I'm impressed.....more so because you're in San Antonio....one of my favorite cities in the world !
So close to Boerne and Rudy's....I'm dribbling at the thought of their brisket right now.
" On July 1st 1941 the New York television station WNBT-TV interrupted its normal viewing to show, without comment, a Bulova watch ticking.
For sixty seconds the watch ticked away mysteriously, then the picture faded and normal programming resumed.
It wasn't much, but it was the first television commercial"

Well, ya know that fella Cliff Claven from Cheers?
I'm kinda like him where I have a lot of useless information... 
Sometimes my wife loves it, sometimes she hates it... Normally she hates it when she is sure that she is right, then I give her the right answer...
