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

KL The Voice of PUBLIC SERVANTS in Denver Colorado's public interest, convenience and necessity are served when the number 1 pubUc figures meet the number 1 microphone of the area. For fast, authentic news from the poHtical front, KLZ stands unchallenged as the top-ranking station in the Denver-Rocky Mountain area. It has brought such names as Roosevelt, Dewey, McNutt, Gannett, Landon and Perkins before its microphones for discussions of national issues. It has long been the choice of the prominent Colorado officials as the one station for effectively talking to the mass of the state's population. It has, through its own statewide network of specially developed information pipelines, scored beat after beat over every other news source on local and state elections. COLORADO'S APPRECIATION OF KLZ is vividly expressed by the state's Governor Ralph L. Carr, who recently wrote the Columbia Broadcasting System: "KLZ is one of the finest agencies for the promulgation of good in this part of the world. The Rocky Mountain area is proud of your Denver outlet." en^vet CBS Affiliate — 560 Kilocycles Affiliated in Management with The Oklahoma Publishing Company AND WKY Oklahoma City — Represented by the Katz Agency, Inc.
