A definite answer is difficult to determine, but taking into account that at the time it was fairly uncommon for a household to possess more than one television set and the respective sales it is safe to assume that at least 9% of the population had a set, roughly 16 million at the time.

probably not many they might have had the very old tv's. Because in 1951, they didn't have as much technology as we do now. so in conclusion most likely not very many.
