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

You Can Buy This Amplifier TODAY Under a recent ruling of the War Production Board radio station owners may buy up to ^500.00 worth of new capital equipment, using their AA-1 MRO CMP-5 priority. Here is a piece of equipment that will make a vast improvement in the quality of your instantaneous records. And it can be delivered to you promptly. It is the Presto 88-A amplifier, designed especially for use with Presto 1-C and similar high fidelity cutting heads. Maximum power output is 50 watts with 4% distortion, measured by the inter-modulation method. Feed back circuits maintain the output impedance essentially constant when driving a cutting head, thus reducing overall distortion. Three frequency response curves are available on a selector switch. (1) Flat response, 30 to 15,000 c.p.s. ± 1 db. (2) "NBC Buy Bonds. Keep on Buying. Keep 'Em Flying. IfiROADCASTING • Broadcast Advertising ORTHACOUSTIC" recording response. (3) World-AMP lateral recording response.
