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

a constellation ! He acts ... he sings ... he writes ... he sells ! That's why Phil Cook has maintained his enviable fixed position up there in the entertainment firmament for 20 years. When Phil made his radio debut in 1925, he was a unique personality. From the very outset of his career, "The Man of a Thousand Voices"cast his programs with vivid, folksy characters. They became popular overnight— they've remained popular ever since. Phil's inexhaustible repertoire of topical songs, his down-to-earth humor, and his all-round shovraianship, have sprouted plenty of imitators, but no equal, no superior. He is — and always has been — the hest one-man show in town! Ask anyone from 6 to 60*: "Who is 'The Man of a Thousand Voices'?" They know the answer: "Phil Cook". Ask advertisers if Cook can sell goods; they know the answer. Or, save time and just glance at his record: He hasn't had an unsponsored year since 1925! An artist of Cook's calibre is a "proven product" for listeners and sponsors. If you're interested in an advertising buy with almost automatic results, call us or Radio Sales for details on the participating opportunity now available on Phil's show.
