...and there were only three stations on the air in the New York area in 1944: WNBT {now WNBC}, WCBW {WCBS}, and WABD {WNYW}, seen by only a few hundred sets in the Metropolitan area [those that were working, anyway].
William J. Ganz produced several "industrial films" for RCA during the '40s and '50s (including "The Story of Television" in 1956). You can bet this was also seen on their New York TV station, WNBT, at the time [1944]...yes, there WERE television broadcasts back then, but restricted to about four hours a week because of the war, and usually limited to war-related programs {including civil defense instruction}, with occasional live entertainment and assorted short films....
