By the time TV spread (the early 1950s, say) sound could be recorded separately, and (while labor-intensive) it's much more effective that way. Live shows would obviously only have live effects, but drama was usually shot to film and edited before airing. According to wikipedia, post-synchronizing (mating image and sound recorded separately) film first happened in 1929. I don't know when sound stages were invented, but clearly by that time it was old hat. (I always watch for the "Foley Artists" in the credit roll, those are the sound actors who make the human noises like footsteps, slaps, etc. that you hear in the finished product.)
