I've noticed interest in old issues of RCA Broadcast News on the 
Quadvideotapegroup list. David Gleason's broadcasting history site 
(which is already home to most of the "Broadcasting Yearbooks") has now 
added Fred Morton's collection of RCA Broadcast News for free viewing. 
So far, there are 38 of them scanned in high resolution with articles 
about station construction, towers, antennae, studios and individual 
stations. The pictures are astounding and the technical information 
about the development of TV, FM stereo and solid state is fascinating to 
read, 30, 40 and 50 years later. Check them out at 
http://www.americanradiohistory.com/RCA-Broadcast-News-Page-Range-Guide.htm

David owns sophisticated (and expensive) hardware dedicated to the 
scanning of old broadcasting publications without harming the original 
documents. He might be encouraged to expand his collection of RCA 
Broadcast News issues if he was loaned additional copies.
