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

APPROVED! Type EX-4180 Frequency Monitor "A Monitor worth waiting for" I . ■ ~ 1 Built-in Power Supply Special Precision Crystal Two-stage Temperature Control Vernier Frequency Adjustment Power-house type Frequency Meter Large Plainly Marked Scale Automatic Continuous Reading Indication of Drift Direction Federal Radio Commission Approval No. 1454 A station engineer who placed his order for a Type EX4180 Frequency Monitor chafed at the time he had to wait for it — almost cancelled his order. But when he received it his reaction was immediate — and enthusiastic. "Worth waiting for" he said — and so will you. An instrument of this kind cannot satisfactorily be built without preliminary development. Engineers of the RCA Victor Company, Inc. took time for such development. They did not accept as final their first model. They built several — and after careful tests chose the best. The result is a precision instrument carefully built to meet exacting requirements. It took time — it delayed the start of Bureau of Standards tests — but it was "worth waiting for." Moreover, it is not yet too late to order one of these monitors.
