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

As Mr. Wade says, "It is difficult even for an advertising man to understand how an independent store like Morris B. Sachs, located 10 miles from Chicago's Loop, can use a full hour program over a 50,000 kilowatt station like WENR every Sunday for almost 9 years and make it pay, but that is exactly what using WENR has done."
