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

Sylvania Radio Tube ''Firsts^ SYLVANIA POWER MEASUREMENT TUBE MEASURING RADIO FREQUENCY POWER MORE ACCURATELY New Sylvania Power Measurement Lamps provide a simple and more accurate means of measuring radio frequency power. At present there are six "lamps" in the Sylvania PM series. Resistances range from 40 to 3 10 ohms over the useful ranges of the curves. A PM Lamp, used with a meter readily available to most radio experimenters, eliminates much of the guesswork that prevailed with old methods. Sylvania PM Lamps, which are no longer restricted to military use, should be useful to radio experimenters. The research and development of the PM series is just another example of how Sylvania engineering succeeds in solving radio problems. Like Sylvania Radio Tubes, criterions of quality, the new Power Measurement Lamps are manufactured to one standard — the highest anywhere known. OTHER SYLVANIA RADIO TUBE FIRSTS Sylvania was first to introduce a line of 6.3-volt radio tubes and to propose their universal use in not only automobile but home receivers. This contribution standardized radio tube voltage, simplified service and stocking, and eliminated transformers in AC-DC sets. Sylvania was first to introduce a line of 1.4-volt tubes, which made the portable camera-type radio possible. This radio tube halved portable radio battery weight — a boon in war and in the peace to come.
