I worked as an engineer in the TV industry for some years in the late 1990s and early 2000s, They were (and are) struggling to put out decent picture and sound and to agree on international tech standards, and the industry no longer even gives airtime for government warning films for children not to go with strangers or to drive safely and make sure you have good lights and hi vis clothing if on your bicycle, let alone mind control programmes.
Also across Europe the Governments had direct control of every television and radio transmitter via the broadcasting authority or the PTT (post, telegraph and telephone) administration until the 1990s which they would not have let private companies take over if it were such a valuable social control resource.
I do however think that excessive time spent looking at television is harmful, many of the programmes transmitted on it are are a great deal of rubbish and that advertising via TV can be powerful as a social engineering force, but people choose to watch it even though there are freer methods of communication available.
I know where the paranoia over dangerous rays came from but it was because until the 1980s TV sets were expensive, so rather than dump them when they developed faults they were repaired.
The big tube inside one often did not make as strong a picture as it aged, so unscrupulous repair men would turn up the high voltages on it to make the picture brighter. This worked but could often make the TV put out x-rays. All CRT displays put out some x-rays anyway as they are an unwanted byproduct of the way the picture tube works, which is why they are heavy with lead inside them (to try and keep the worst of these away from the viewer). Even so this really was only a problem in very old TV sets made in the 1970s (some of which were still around until the 90s) but is not found today with todays sets using LCD technology.
