Mark Margiotta, Akhilesh Bajaj and I were talking about old FM radios and the FM band this evening, and we decided to look up the date when the FCC first established the FM band for commercial broadcast. We found it to be 1937. So in fact, there were several years that the FM band was used when tubes were used in radio construction. FM didn't gain popularity until after transistors became popular, but it was commercially available.
