Radio today (Apr-Dec 1939)

What Are Your Chances of Getting a Job in Television? Let's Be Frank WHEN I started training men for Radio 25 years ago, Radio was regarded only as means of long-distance communication. Since then, I have seen Radio expand in many different directions — into broadcasting, aviation, police, transatlantic telephone service, direction-finding, loudspeaker systems, automobile Radio, industrial electronic devices, and now Television is Radio's newest development. Many sensational claims have been made for Television — so many that I feel a frank discussion of Television and how to get ready for the opportunities it offers, is advisable. Are There Opportunities in Television Today? Yes! There are opportunities in the large manufacturing plants which make television transmitters and other video equipment. There are opportunities in some stations planning to broadcast Television programs. There are opportunities in companies now making or planning to make Television receivers. There are opportunities installing and servicing Television receivers in New York and a few other cities where Television programs are now being broadcast. But there are not many of these opportunities today and they are going to men with long technical training and experience. However, this DOES NOT MEAN THAT TELEVISION IS NOT CREATING OPPORTUNITIES EVEN NOW. It is — for trained men qualified to take over the Radio jobs formerly held by the men who have gone and are going into Television. When Will Television Offer More Opportunities? Very soon, most informed persons believe. Just as soon as Television transmissions start in any city — opportunities will come in that city. There will be opportunities in the Television transmitting stations — opportunities for installing, servicing, repairing and adjusting Television receivers. These opportunities will continue to grow but nobody knows how far or how fast Television will develop. It's almost a certainty, however, that it will eventually reach tremendous proportions. Who Will Benefit From Television's Opportunities? Only men with good, sound Radio training and experience. Many of the men who will get the early good jobs in Television will be men now in Radio. Others will be men who have Radio training and experience — plus special training in Television. It is safe to say that a MAN WHO DOES NOT KNOW RADIO will not get into Television. Television, after all, is a DEVELOPMENT OF RADIO, far more complicated and far more technical than Radio, but still a DEVELOPMENT of it. When men now in Radio shift into Television, that will MAKE OPPORTUNITIES IN RADIO — opportunities which may later lead to opportunities in Television. What Can You Do NOW to Get Ready for Television? First — you must Train for Radio. You'll need a working knowledge of fundamental Radio principles to understand Television.
