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

the NEW Westinghouse 50 KW AM transmitter Completely new design — not just a "worked over" old design— embodies every engineering improvement the present state of the art affords. The new Westinghouse AM 50 HG-2 includes features not available in any other transmitter today. Check these high lights of the latest addition to the famous Westinghouse line: 1. No tube rectifiers: the use of metal rectifiers in all power supplies eliminates rectifier tube replacement cost and greatly increases reliability and dependability of operation. 2. Extended supervisory control: complete supervisory control system, co-ordinated with sequential interlock system and with overload and safety protection systems, is provided. 3. Minimum floor space: the transmitter proper, which determines the basic building requirements, consists of only six individual, uniform cubicles. Floor space requirements are minimized and installation is simplified. 4. Fewer tubes and tube types: only twenty operating tubes of only seven types are used in the entire transmitter, including three diodes for r.f. rectification and a voltage regulator tube. 5. Centralized control: Operation is made easy and definite by provision of complete controls and indicators on the front panels of the transmitter cubicles. Motor-driven controls are used. 6. Built-in spares: the transmitter includes a complete spare crystal oscillator unit, a spare blower and motor unit, and complete provisions for a spare tube for each power amplifier and modulator tube. Add to these features the uncompromising quality of every Westinghouse transmitter, and you can see immediately why the new Westinghouse 50 HG-2 is your choice for 50kilowatt operation.
