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

Philadelphia™ brought ice cream to its rich perfection. They invented the ice cream soda. And through generations ice cream has become Philadelphia's dish. Rely on a Philadelphian to know Philadelphia tastes — in radio as in every other field. And remember that Philadelphia advertisers buy a huge and growing share of KYWs sponsorship. Today they account for 43% of all our non-network time. This would not be so remarkable if KYW were a small local station specializing in local retail advertising, but it isn't. KYW is the 50,000 watt, top-notch station of the nation's third market, carrying NBC programs. Investigate our directed coverage, which saturates the market from the Appalachians to the sea. KYW is Philadelphia's dish. Make it yours as well. ran WESTZNGHOUSE RADIO STATIONS Inc WOWO • WGL • WBZ • WBZA • KYW • KDKA REPRESENTED NATIONALLY BY NBC SPOT SALES
