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

To Reach Detroit Radio Listeners You Must Have WWJ is first in listener interest in Detroit. Every survey that has ever been made proves that. The reasons: WWJ was the first radio station in America to broadcast regular daily programs; the first in Michigan to broadcast play-by-play accounts of base ball and foot ball games; first to bring network programs to Detroit; first station in the state alloting time to community and civic movements and first to provide its listeners with important news flashes. WWJ Building for the Future In keeping with its pioneering instincts, WWJ recently completed one of the most modem high-fidelity 5-KW transmitting units used by any radio station in America. The new broadcasting building, illustrated above, and now under construction, will house the most elaborately equipped studios between New York and Chicago. WWJ has a staff qualified to meet all requirements. It has its own 24-piece concert orchestra and a 14-piece dance orches National Representative JOHN BLAIR & CO., New York, Chicago, Los Anfeles, San Francisco 5KW tra.
