Thanks!
Ditto to all the above. Happy Birthday, David!
Happy Birthday and another THANK YOU for your website and the recent addition of being able to search back issues of Broadcasting magazine.
Between David's site, Billboard on Google Books and Variety's own archives, there is a wealth of historic information available for the radio/tv researcher.
Now if they would just put Radio & Records archives online.

Well OK, I guess we can say "Happy Birthday" to the Old Gringo.
Now if he could only say something nice--at least once--about the 55+ demo.

I wonder if anyone has a full collection of R&R. I'd put them up online if they were available to scan and someone would give a release. I've got unlimited space on my hosting account, and it's paid for the next decade...
I'd love to also have the Hamilton and Gavin reports!

The Yearbooks are slowly being processed for searching in the same way... each one ends up as a set of files that is about 1.5 gigs... so that's about 65 gigs for the collecion. I've got the hosting space, but I am out of space on my local disc for site management... I am waiting to see if the new Intel 600gb SSD drives are SATA 3.0 compatible... otherwise I have to try to do it with a pair of Micron 512's as the laptop will not hold anything more! I never knew that this project was sort of like buying a yacht... a hole in the water you pour money into.

I love 55+ personally. I B 1.
But advertisers won't sustain radio for 55+, so we are all stuck with reality.
The only place I've ever seen a complete run of Radio & Records is in the library at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville.
There is another trade that I was looking at in their library from the 1960s that I know was the competition for Billboard and CashBox. I can't think of what it was called, but it had lots of radio news and features that Billboard didn't have at the time.
Have you ever seen a Radio Programming Profile book. Our library has one edition that is undated but appears to be from 1966 or 1967. It gives the complete program schedule for radio stations. I once photocopied the markets that interested me. It is in notebook style, so it is easy to take the pages out for copying.

Record World?
Radio & Records Magazine, maybe
It was Record World. Radio and Records didn't publish until 1973.
I'm always interested in seeing radio coverage from the 1960s.
Billboard's radio coverage in that era was erractic. A very small low watt daytimer station in a very small town going gospel or country would get an article but a major market format change might not even get mentioned at all.
