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

Our man Jamison is a character . . . By this we don't mean that Mr. Jamison is the sort of fellow who panics the office by returning from lunch with a lamp shade on his head... (although, of course, he likes a good joke as well as the next man ) . What we do mean is that Jamison is an invention of our imagination . . . based on our many years of successful experience as broadcasters' representatives. (We thought we'd better mention this, because we've received quite a few phone calls for Mr. Jamison since we started him off at the first of the year). Jamison is really a composite of the qualities that make the services of Weed and Company so valuable. He serves both ways. He serves the men who provide radio and television facilities . . . he serves the men who advertise over them . . . and he does both superlatively well. That makes him a symbol as well as a character, we figure. Anyway, we're mighty proud of Mr. Jamison and the qualities he represents. And we want to say so now, at the end of his first full year with Weed and Company. This is a most appropriate time to say one other thing, too . . . A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS to all our good friends among the broadcasters, advertisers and agency men of America.
