I was just reviewing the "Short History of Network Television" section of the great book "The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network & Cable TV Shows". Some highlights: NBC & CBS had commerical licenses for TV by '41 with a number of programs on the air. During the war programming was basically limited to training films. (military? civil defense?) DuMont got its commercial license for the NY flagship station in '44, so things were moving. By mid-46 NBC was broadcasting a regular schedule to a network of east coast stations and DuMont had its DC station fully operating.
Yep, you could rig a pre-war tv to play video games.
