It does not matter when West Penn first mentioned TV

The fact remains that TV helped kill transit.  I watched this at
Montour Motor Coiach 1950-51 and at Harmony l951-60
and at Citizens Transit-Oil City l950-53. Thats was the end of
evening riding,

Also the 5 day week killed Saturday and shopping centers killed
downtown.  Citizen's purchased 5 new diesel buses in l949 and
was out of business in 5 years.
