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

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.
