I know it must have happened between 1994 and 1997, because the founder of WebTV said he got the idea after watching a Campbell*s soup commercial in 1995 that contained a website address.

As for the WebTV founder comment, I'll bet you got that from Wikipedia. If you read the source material in the referenced footnote, I think you come to a different conclusion. In the actual quote, it implies he was searching the web and came across the Campbell's web site. In wikipedia, that morphed into seeing a Campbell's commercial.

I have no personal knowledge one way or another.
