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

Newspapers Owning or Affiliated with Radio Stations . . . APPROXIMATELY one-third of the broadcasting stations of the United States, Canada and the rest of North America are owned or controlled by or affiliated with newspapers, according to a newly revised list prepared by Broadcasting from the best available records. Many of the tieups are simply for news flashes and promotional cooperation, but close to 100 stations are owned outright by or have corporate affiliations with newspapers. It will be noted that all of the Hearst newspapers, with the exception of the Syracuse Journal, have radio affiliates; that Hearst owns three stations; that the Scripps-Howard group owns at least one and has affiliations with several more.
