AMERICAN TELEVISION DIRECTORY AND OFFICIAL YEARBOOK OF THE AMERICAN TELEVISION SOCIETY, INC. FOREWORD ■ HIS is the first American Television Directory and Yearbook. It is also the first com¬ prehensive roster and handbook of a great new industry poised on the threshold of swift peace¬ time expansion. It is fitting that this Directory should be sponsored by the American 'Television Society — the acknowledged, organized voice of all fields directly and indirectly interested in the advancement of this magnificent new medium of communication, entertainment, education and sales promotion. The Society — with its large membership — has long provided a valuable forum for the industry. 'This Directory — by offering a vast amount of television information in easily available form -will provide a focal center of 1946 television activity. The Board of Directors of the American Television Society wishes to express its gratitude to the many members who have contributed so freely of their time and talents to make this Directory a truly useful inventory of television’s progress and potentialities. We are especially grateful to Buchanan & Company for allowing Ralph Rockafellow to serve as editor. Mr. Rockafellow’s long and successful career as an editor and advertising man, his almost limitless knowledge of television and its many problems, and his willingness to pitch in and get the job done eminently fitted him to fill this position. To contributors, advertisers and workers alike we extend our deep appreciation for their efforts in the advancement of television. AMERICAN TELEVISION SOCIETY, Inc. 3. George T. Shupert, President 5
