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

AM MONITORS For AM Broadcasting the RCA line includes the 311-AB Frequency Monitor shown above and the 66-D Modulation Monitor — both FCC approved types — and the relatively new Type 300-C Phase Monitor, the finest instrument yet designed for adjustment and monitoring of directional antenna arrays. FM MONITORS For FM Broadcasting the RCA line before the war included the Type 322-A Modulation Monitor shown above and the Type 336-A Frequency Monitoring Equipment — units which were specifically approved by the FCC for FM station use. Planned for production after the war is a combined modulation and frequency monitor of improved design. FOR ALL KINDS OF BROADCASTING RCA manufactures a complete line of broadcast equipment — including not only such operating units as microphones, amplifiers and transmitters, but also such necessary accessories as modulation, frequency and phase monitors; audio measuring equipment; and field intensity meters. RCA Test and Measuring Equipment units meet all the needs of FM, Television and ShortWave Broadcasting as well as AM Broadcasting. The proof of these RCA equipments is in their widespread use. Almost every broadcast station has one or more; nearly all the networks have several. Other manufacturers use them. The RCA companies — NBC, RCA Communications, Radiomarine Corporation and RCA Laboratories — use them in large numbers. RCA BROADCAST EQUIPMENT RADIO CORPORATION OF AMERICA RCA VICTOR DIVISION .
