NTSC monochome was standardized in the first half of 1941, and there were TV stations in at least NYC, Chicago, and L.A.....Many pre-war sets were or could be realigned from the RCA 441line AM sound to 525line with AM slope detection of the FM sound.
The audience was small, but war time TV broadcasting was a thing.
