The station files consist of a range of materials, including clippings, promotional brochures, pamphlets, and market data from radio and television stations throughout the United States. The collection was created to facilitate research on specific TV and radio stations.
William Hedges, one of the primary architects of American broadcasting, spearheaded the Broadcast Pioneers History Project beginning in 1964, when he and his colleagues began gathering materials that would become the Broadcast Pioneers Library (BPL). Catharine Heinz, former librarian of the Television Information Office and director of the BPL from 1971-1994, created the television and station files from a variety of collections that were part of the BPL.
This collection is arranged in 1 series and is arranged alphabetically by station call letters.
These station files were compiled by the staff of the Broadcast Pioneers Library (BPL) from a variety of collections that were originally part of the Library.
