I've never understood how anyone was able to engineer, design, manufacture, and sell a TV within the first year production resumed. If you notice, most large companies like Philco, Zenith, and GE, introduced TV's in '48. That makes sense.

There was no real sense building a product, that had a limited market!
The only areas that had TV reception were the large cities, that had TV before the war. It probably only took a small investment to convert the original equipment to the new standards.
Milwaukee first got TV in March,1948. The Journal Company, was the only one that had that Capital, for an investment of that size.
