The Radio Corporation of America Tells what TE LE¥ISIftN win mean to you! RCA TELEVISION will be introduced this month in the New York metropolitan area. Television programs, broadcast from the lofty NBC mast at the top of the Empire State Building, will cover an area approximately fifty miles in all directions from that building. Programs from NBC television studios will be sent out initially for an hour at a time, twice a week. In addition, there will be pick-ups of news events, sporting events, interviews with visiting celebrities, and other programs of wide interest. How Television will be received! To provide for the reception of television programs, RCA Laboratories have developed several receiving sets which are now ready for you to sell. These instruments, built by RCA Victor, which you will see on ensuing pages include two of the three models for reception of television pictures and sound, as well as regular radio programs. There is also an attachment for present radio sets. This latter provides for seeing television pictures, while the sound is heard through the radio itself. The pictures seen on these various models will differ only in size. Television — A new opportunity for dealers RCA believes that as television grows it will offer dealers an ever expanding opportunity for profits. You, who are in a position to cash in on its present development, will find that television goes hand in hand with your radio business.
