Back in the late 1920s and early 1930s, BBC (and over a dozen USA companies) were doing experimental television broadcasting, often late at night after the radio (audio only) broadcasts had ended and the allocated frequency was available.
Take a look at this (1960's recreation of a) 1930 broadcast. Done on a John Logie Baird design 32-line spinning nipkow disk with a single light behind the spinning pattern of holes. Originally you had to see the picture (about 1" x 1") or hear the sound, but doing both together was usually impossible.

This is what early, non-electronic television was in reality. How far we've come.
