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 appearance not unlike a modernistic portable bar, the instrument is said to be able to cope with any sound requirement that the most inspired script writers can devise. Three turntables, which can be operated simultaneously at varying speeds, permit the use of an almost endless variety of sound effect records. A microphone and speaker combination enables realistic reproduction of radio and telephone conversations, with either city or rural-type phones. Eight different pieces of sound apparatus, such as bells, horns, sirens, may be operated from the machine by remote control. This machine, which was ordered early in the spring, is the second of its kind to be turned out by its maker; the first is in use at WGN, Chicago. Examiners' Reports .
