Old-time TVs

A thought just occurred to me, as a result of a rather obscure train of thoughts, which ended in the known TV phrase: "Tune in next week..."

In the old days, when the TVs came, I suppose you had a knob or something to tune them with.

But I also assume there came a time when there suddenly was more than one channel around. (We had only one Norwegian channel for eons, I don't know how it was in the US -- and that's actually something I'd like to know, too.)

Had the TV manufacturers foreseen this and installed a preset feature, or did you have to manually re-tune the TV to switch channels?
