There were dozens of brands at the time of combo B&W (And sometimes color) televisions with radio. The tuning was usually vernier in nature rather than bandswitch; cheaper--and more compact. Some sets had a continuous tuning of chs two through thirteen, by using some kind of micro switch to change positions to switch the two separated bands at the point the dial went from "6" to "7" on the dial.
While these sets might be something on which I'd normally listen to the ball game the picture was small, and of low enough quality--particuarly on the color sets--that I never took them that seriously. If I'm gonna watch a movie then that set is not for me. Unless I want to watch a movie in a tent while camping out, and ignoring the bear that is trying to box at my rations tied up in the limb of an adjacent tree...
