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

Ills EASY. IF YOU KNOW how! In some parts of the nation, a radio station can do almost anything — can broadcast in Chinese or Italian — and still be "right'* for a lot of people. It's different in the South. Accurate Know-How is especially important in KWKH's four-state area. Our listeners have definite and fairly uniform preferences. They want their programs to recognize their preferences. KWKH gives them this sort of programming, learned from 23 years of continuous study. Our audience responds by listening to KWKH, and by buying the products we advertise. We'd be happy to tell you all about KWKH's outstanding rating, and how you can use our Know-How.
