Description:
Founded in 1937 by Jack Alicoate, who also published the New York-based FILM DAILY. Alicoate essentially took the same model he had used for film and applied it to the growing medium of broadcasting: publish a daily trade paper with headlines and short news stories and then an end-of-the-year annual with industry data and loads of advertisements. Today, v=broadcasting historians will find a great deal of policy, industry, station, and programming information inside RADIO DAILY and the RADIO ANNUAL. -- Eric Hoyt, 2015

We know a Salesman We know a salesman who never makes a call unless he is invited. Yet he is such a personable fellow that he has been invited— and welcomed— into nine out of every ten homes in cities throughout the length of the land. He has never held a door open with his foot, never had to wait in a reception room, never written for an appointment, never rung a doorbell. When the day's work is done, and families are assembled in the privacy of their homes, he is summoned to speak his piece before them. He is a tireless worker— on the job sixteen hours a day, seven days a week. And he is lightning fast— often calling on as many as ten million prospects within an hour. He carries out his boss' instructions to the letter — and works for a mere pittance per home. Maybe you think there is no such salesman. Well, there is. What's more, we are in position to put you in touch with millions like him. They are the thirty-four million radio sets of America. And . . . "This is — the Columbia Broadcasting System"
