[QuadList] RCA BROADCAST NEWS issues for free online viewing

[C. Park Seward]

Thanks, Bob. Great stuff.

I noticed in one issue RCA blowing their own horn, something they liked to do.

Writing about the Iconoscope: "and its development made possible the first all electronic television system-developed by RCA."

Of course no mention of Farnsworth, who really did develop the first all electronic TV system.

Best,
Park

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
