A few thousand sets were around New York. Commercial stations licensed in several cities like Chicago, Philadelphia.

The BBC operated a television service in London from 1936-1939 with 20-thousand sets in the south of England by 1939.

The television stations in the USA shut down for the war from July 1942 to January 1944.
