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

Hi OW ready 1 f Type TMV-21 Field Intensity Meter .a 91 <! ( i t i : ! Frequency Range 550 Kilocycles to 4500 Kilocycles Intensity Range 20 Microvolts /Meter to 3000 Millivolts /Meter A REN'T you finding, Mr. Broadcaster, that your prospecjfl. tive advertisers are becoming more inquisitive regarding the effectiveness of your transmission . . . less satisfied to i accept that rather doubtful "coverage" which you based on la circle of arbitrary radius? Wouldn't you like to be able to j make a field survey of your station pattern ... to have available •an instrument with which you could measure your signal intensity anywhere at your convenience? Engineers of the RCA Victor Company, Inc., thought so, and so they spent over a year developing a field intensity meter particularly fitted for your needs. A meter which is a vastly different instrument from former designs which required a truck for transportation. Mounted in a single small case, this meter can be easily carried about by one man and quickly set up anywhere on its convenient tripod mounting. With it you can accurately measure intensities ranging from the weakest signals which can be identified in a superheterodyne receiver to the blanketing signals in the proximity of a 50 KW station. Moreover, Mr. Broadcaster, you can measure the intensity of your second and third harmonics as well as your fundamental. Bulletin No. 13 has more to say of this Type TMV-21 Meter.
