David Sarnoff
In my opinion David Sarnoff is a pretty cool guy. He did a lot of dealing with television when it first came out. I thought it was pretty cool how he saved the Radio France station in Paris. He also created Sarnoff's Law which states that the value of a broadcast network is proportional to the number of viewers. He also claims he stayed by the telegraph key for three days to receive information about the Titanic survivors though many doubted it.
