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

HIGH FIDELITY assures maximum audience Are you fair to your advertisers 2 If so, you assure them of a maximum audience by providing facilities to reproduce their program with the best possible fidelity. If you do not you are unfair to your best friends, and unfair to yourself — for needlessly handicapping yourself in the competition for audience attention. Moreover, your old alibi, the prohibitive cost of fine equipment, no longer holds. The Type S-3 Speech Equipment has been designed particularly to provide the high-quality audio channel required to take full advantage of the increased fidelity made possible by the velocity Microphone. It is made up of the same unit panels used in the finest studio installations — yet because of standardized manufacture it is actually less expensive than much inferior equipments which are much less flexible. This new equipment is described in Bulletin No. 26 — your copy will be sent on request. TRANSMITTER SERVICE FEB -0 BW RCA Victor Co., Inc. A Radio Corporation of America Subsidiary CAMDEN, N. J.
