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

THIS SEA-GULL LIVES ON THE GROUND This is a "flight trainer"— an electronically operated replica of the PBM-3 flying boat. It was conceived by the Bureau of Aeronautics and developed by Bell Telephone Laboratories to train Navy bomber crews on the ground. The new crew climb a few steps to get in and from then on it is like being in a big plane at night. Controls tug against the pilot's grasp and "engines" roar in response to the throttle. From his desk, the instructor creates every situation of real flight — even to iced-up wings, conked-out engines and sudden air-pockets. The novice pilot and his crew get the feel of danger without the hazard. BELL TELE Exploring and inventing, devising and Once the control dials are set, the various effects are automatically organized and set in motion by concealed machinery which includes 200 vacuum tubes, 60 motors, loudspeakers and hundreds of associated parts. Twenty Laboratories engineers worked more than a year developing the project. Drawings covered an area equal to 15,000 square feet. This is only one of the 1200 projects in which our experience was of assistance to the Armed Forces. What we learned in devising electronic circuits to train fliers will now help build better telephones. HONE LABORATORIES perfecting for continued economies and improvements in telephone service.
