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

Here in Fresno we have always had the leading station. Repeated city surveys have been telling us that for years. And, with our 5,000 watts on 5 80, we have always felt KM^ was doing a good job in the Fresno Five County Trading Area . . . felt we were giving the farmers what they wanted. In fact, after 22 years it just seemed second nature to us to feel "at home" with the whole San Joaquin Valley. That old feeling is still in our hearts, but now it's also on paper. The first Hooper Trading Zone Index on the Pacific Coast has just been completed for us. We learn that in 12 cities scattered over 125 miles, from Merced to Porterville . . . X:/^/ HAS AT ALL TIMES 6 TO 20 TIMES THE AUDIENCE OF ITS NEAREST FRESNO COMPETITOR So, if you need to know more about California, if you want the first inside story on what stations are heard throughout Central California, send for our City ZoneTrading Zone Comparison on the ^ned*to. market ...we have a feeling you'll use it!
