Barely, but yes. But at the start of World War II, TV was 99% something people had heard or read about, but only about 1% of people had seen. The New York Times for December 8, 1941 has TV listings in it, but a very few, and only very wealthy people had this very expensive, new-fangled electronic gadget in their homes. TV did not really become a part of everyday life until about 1952, and it was about 1956 before the majority (more than 50%) of Americans had it.
