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

Year-in and year-out, KSTP-TV's 10:00 p.m. NewsWeather-Sports lineup has enjoyed top ratings in the Twin Cities market. This year the ratings are greater than ever! A comparison of March, I960, figures with those for the same month in 1959 show a 20 percent gain. The average rating from 10:00 to 10:30, Monday through Saturday, is now a solid 24.6. In 1959 it was 19.8* (which is a pretty solid figure, too). The Northwest's favorite on-the-air personalities, supported by the superior facilities of an award-winning News Department, have made KSTP-TV the undisputed leader in the News-Weather-Sports field.
