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

In some markets, for example, you may need tivo stations, while in others you might be throwing your money away to use any station. At your request we will gladly survey your network coverage in relation to your sales opportunities — check to see whether or not you're getting a balanced coverage, for your particular sales problems. Maybe our work will result in getting a schedule for some of our stations. Maybe it will merely prove to you that we do our jobs with speed, thoroughness and sincerity of purpose. Either way, we'll count the time well spent. Give us a ring! FREE & SLEININGER, INC. IS C&adio cJiahon d&efireseniahves JAMES L. FREE, Pres.-Treas. H. PRESTON PETERS, V. P. -Sec.
