William F. Kunze (June 1, 1872–February 14, 1962) was a banker who was elected to be mayor of Minneapolis, Minnesota, serving as a Republican from 1929 to 1931. Kunze is believed to be one of the first Minnesotans to have ever appeared on television. WDGY radio (today known as KFAN) had started an experimental mechanical television system using the call sign W9XAT. Kunze reportedly shook hands with WDGY personality Clellan Card. The exact date is not known for certain, but it probably occurred on or before August 4, 1933.
