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 RCA-8D21 employs advanced principles of screening, cooling, and electron optics as revolutionary as television itself. The RCA-5 592, with its "metal header" construction, requires no neutralization in grounded-grid circuits. The high-power tube RCA5 6" 1 successfully emplovs a thoriated-tungsten filament that draws 60% less filament power than similar mngsten-filament types. This tube is establishing exceptional records of life performance. RCA's unparalleled research facilities, engineering background, and manufacturing experience contribute to the quality, dependability, and operating economy of every RCA tube you buy. This unusual combination of research, engineering, and manufacturing leadership explains why RCA tubes are accepted as the Standard of Comparison in broadcasting. The complete line of RCA tubes is available from your local RCA tube distributor, or direct from RCA. The world's most modern tube plant. RCA, LANCASTER, PA.
