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

GRAYBAR ELECTRIC CO. B ^ j Graybar Building, New York, N. Y. Gentlemen: Please send me fiill information on the Western Electric No. 12A Radio Transmitter and No. 71A Amplifier. I Quality Coverage Station Popularity Increased Revenues The new Western Electric 12A Radio Transmitter and 71 A Amplifier are acknowledged the finest and most recent developments in the broadcasting art. 100% grid bias modulation — complete absence of rotating machinery — all tubes radiation cooled — arc outstanding features. Unusual frequency stability and fidelity of transmission arc inherent qualities. The 12A Transmitter is rated at 100 watts. For higher power it is used as the driver for the 71A Amplifier, which delivers 250, 500 or 1000 watts by the use of different tubes in the output stage. Compactness, quality performance and economical operation result from revolutionary innovations in electrical and mechanical design. Complete 100 watt transmitting equipment occupies only 25" x 36" floor space. Amplifier, giving increased power up to 1000 watts, requires additional space of like area. An efficient all AC operated, single rack Speech Input Equipment — with the new Western Electric moving coil microphone — has been designed for use with these new transmitting equipments.
