They are part of the deflection yoke. If you saw that chunky core wrapped in magnet wire on the skinny end of the tube that’s what that was. They aren’t always permanent magnets, most of the later model TVs used electromagnets, but it’s how the electron beam is moved across the screen. All of them will have very strong magnets somewhere by design.
