Description:
This trade paper began in 1931 with a focus on radio, but as the TV industry expanded in the post-World War II era, the paper increasingly became devoted to television (even the title changed to BROADCASTING TELECASTING). Developments in technology, policy, advertising, and programming were covered. The paper's advertisements and articles reveal the intricate relationship among sponsors, stations, program suppliers, and station representatives -- the industry's term for middle-men who represented numerous local stations in negotiations with national sponsors. The success of particular stations or programming choices are frequently trumpeted in BROADCASTING'S advertisements -- always with the goal of selling more of something, such as a film program or a station's spot advertising time. -- Eric Hoyt, 2014

By MARTIN CODEL SO MANY requests have been made for our previously published lists of newspaper-owned and affiliated broadcasting stations, and so many changes have occurred in that list since it was last published last summer, that it has been revised and brought up to date as of Dec. 1, 1932. This data has been compiled with painstaking care over a period of about two years, being unavailable from official sources because most newspaper-radio stations are incorporated separately and the licenses are issued to corporations whose stock ownership is not necessarily listed with the Radio Commission.

It is possible that there have been a few omissions due to obscure corporate affiliations, and perhaps an occasional error due to the ever-changing status of corporations operating radio stations. It is well known that the movement toward newspaper ownership, control or corporate affiliation has been gaining impetus in the last year or two— due probably to the "favorable" publicity radio has been getting as a business and news adjunct of newspapers in the incessant battle being waged against radio by certain press interests.
