Wikipedia History |

Broadcasting
was founded in Washington, D.C., by
Martin Codel,
Sol Taishoff, and
former
National Association of
Broadcasters
president
Harry Shaw,
and the first issue was published on October 15,
1931. Originally, Shaw was publisher, Codel editor,
and Taishoff managing editor; when Shaw retired,
Codel became publisher and Taishoff took over as
editor-in-chief. (Taishoff had succeeded Codel
writing the radio column for the
Consolidated Press
Association,
both men using the pseudonym “Robert Mack”; the two
met while covering radio in Washington. The men
operated under the corporate name Broadcasting
Publications, Inc.; after Shaw's departure, the
company was owned by Codel, Taishoff, and their
wives. Codel left the magazine in January, 1943, to
work in public relations for the
Red Cross
in
the North African
theater of
the
war,
but remained on the
masthead
as publisher until June, 1944, at which point
Taishoff and his wife bought out the Codels'
interest in the magazine. Taishoff then assumed the
post of publisher in addition to editor.
Broadcasting
merged with Broadcast Advertising in 1932,
with the Broadcast Reporter in 1933, and with
Telecast in 1953.
The title was changed to Broadcasting-Telecasting
beginning with the 2003-05-ember 26, 1945, issue;
Telecasting was dropped from the cover page on
October 14, 1957, but remained on the masthead
through January 5, 1959. The title remained
Broadcasting thereafter until the 1990s, when it
became Broadcasting & Cable.

bought Broadcasting in 1986 from the Taishoff
family. Cahners

2009, Cahners successor
