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

Sliilkret Novelties* The Greatest Series of Electrical Transcriptions ever produced under the masterly direction of Nathaniel Shilkret himself A month ago, we announced this new series of personally directed broadcasts as an ideal 15-minute or half-hour presentation for commercial sponsorship. So favorable has been the reaction to this offer, and so immediate the response that not many good territories remain open where the broadcast rights for this series can be secured. "Shilkret Novelties" are outstanding — not only from a talent point of view, but also from an economical point of view. For the stars, orchestras and showmanship behind many of radio's most successful programs are combined in this series of presentations. Programs ordinarily beyond the reach of both station and advertiser are here in "Shilkret Novelties." Wire immediately for open territories and complete details. * Released exclusively through Scott Howe Bowen, Inc. SCOTT HOWE BOWEN, Inc. Chrysler Building, New York Chicago Wrigley Bldg.
