oreword ^? ^vfiC; rnWENTY-SEVEN YEARS is a long time in broad-^ casting — -and, after 27 years, it would seem impossible to find some new thought to key this foreword to the YEARBOOK OF RADIO AND TELEVISION. Yet, the executive who directs the destiny of one of the leading broadcasting companies supplied one in discussing the industry's standard reference volume: "I like to caU it my million-dollar treasury of facts," he observed, adding: "I may be a little low in the evaluation by a million or two." TTE EXPLAINED that if the YEARBOOK were -■--^ nonexistent, the industry would find it necessary to create it. The cost of research and compilation spanning 27 years would soar into seven figures. mHIS MUCH we who work on the YEARBOOK— ^ day in, day out — do know: It is in many respects the distillation of more than two decades of earlier endeavor, not to mention publishing experience. rpHUS, there is no substitute and there never can be -^ one. rpo ALL those whose unstinting efforts are repre-* sented in this 27th edition go our deep appreciation and thanks for a job well done.
