The 1936 Summer Olympics were the first to have live television coverage. Since there were very few privately owned television sets at the time, special viewing rooms were set up in Berlin and Potsdam.

The Berlin Olympics were the first to be televised in 1936. However, the games weren't televised in the US until 1960 (CBS).
