Subseries: Advisory Council Reports and Minutes, 1927-1936
Physical Description: 1 box (0.4 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note

Reports and minutes of the NBC Advisory Council, 1927-1936. Created by Owen D. Young, the council was composed of such other distinguished citizens as Charles Evans Hughes, Walter Damrosch, Dwight Morrow, Newton D. Baker, Robert M. Hutchins, and Elihu Root, and it reviewed programming and made suggestions on NBC policy in the areas of ethics, good taste, and the public interest. Although touted as a forum for public access to broadcast decision-making, the council never functioned in that manner.

Half of the reports and minutes are bound, the others are in pamphlet form. For 1927, 1929, and 1934 there are minutes of the annual meetings, while the reports cover the period from the beginning of NBC operations in November 1926 through early 1936. (The council continued operation until February 1941.)

Particularly noteworthy is the annual report to the Advisory Council by the NBC president. Included here is information on the past year's broadcasting highlights with discussions of future plans. Through 1934 there are committee reports on such program areas as agriculture, education, labor, music, religion, and women's activities; in the last two years these are replaced by program summaries. For the later reports there are usually detailed program analyses; these are accompanied by program highlights broken down by type and often with narrative descriptions. For most of the 1930s there is a considerable amount of information on NBC's international broadcasts. Many of the reports also list NBC network stations and affiliates, advertisers, and notable entertainers and prominent individuals heard over the network. There is usually a map of NBC's broadcast circuits in the United States. The reports and minutes are arranged chronologically by year. The 1939 volume is a brief history.

Royal, John F. (1886-1978). Papers, 1931-1950
Physical Description: 6 boxes (5.4 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note

Papers of an NBC vice president for programming, 1931-1940; for international relations, 1940-1944; and for television, 1940-1950. The papers consist of correspondence, memos, reports, pamphlets, newspaper and magazine articles, lists, drafts, photographs, notes, schedules, charts, and related material. They are divided into two groups: carbons of outgoing correspondence, 1931-1942, and an alphabetically-arranged subject file, 1940-1950; there is some duplication between the two.

The bulk of the outgoing correspondence pertains to Royal's tenure as vice president for programming. These papers document particularly well the development of music programming, the growth of NBC's involvement with Latin America, coverage of European war news, and NBC's first television broadcasts. There is also material on routine policy implementation; production, especially for educational and cultural programs; ASCAP; censorship; and the FCC. Major programs treated include America's Town Meeting of the Air and the University of Chicago Round Table; prominent individuals that may be noted include George V. Denny, Hans V. Kaltenborn, Nelson Rockefeller, Raymond Gram Swing, and Arturo Toscanini. There is also a significant amount of material regarding such NBC figures as James Rowland Angell, Samuel Chotzinoff, Margaret Cuthbert, Frank E. Mullen, Frank Russell, David Sarnoff, A. A. Schecter, Niles Trammell, and Mark Woods.

Interest in programming can also be found in Royal's later files. Notable here is a 1943 continuity acceptance working manual; a report on NBC operations in 1943; several files on post-war planning; and a file on litigation over Mr. District Attorney.

For Royal's tenure as vice president for international relations the papers document the network's part in World War II through short wave broadcasting and reveal the close cooperation among the international division, the coordinator for inter-American affairs, and the Office of War Information. Though there is substantial material concerning broadcasts to Europe and to military personnel throughout the world, most of the files concern Latin America. Especially interesting is the development of the Pan American Network of NBC affiliates and the implementation of Royal's policies for the coverage of events of interest to Latin Americans and the broadcasting of selected Latin American programs for listeners. There is significant material regarding competition for the Latin American audience with the Columbia Broadcasting System, the Mutual Broadcasting System, and the Crosley Corporation; difficulties in obtaining time and equipment for operations; broadcasts of such NBC programs as the Inter-American University of the Air and the NBC Symphony; and attempts by advertisers to become involved in short wave broadcasting. Other files concern NBC's relations with RCA, especially regarding the sale of its equipment in Latin America; the use of recordings in short wave broadcasts; and broadcasts by two NBC commentators, Edward Tomlinson and Raymond Gram Swing.

Activities in television broadcasting are documented primarily in the television portion of the subject file, though there is related material elsewhere. A particularly significant report is Royal's “Quo Vadis: Wither Goest Thou NBC?” (1945), with related correspondence from 1949. Fragmentary and generally routine, the other television files concern such matters as filmed television shows, plays, and related matters.

NBC executives and other prominent personnel represented here are James Rowland Angell, Fred Bate, William F. Brooks, Max Jordan, Frank Mullen, A. A. Schecter, and Niles Trammell. There is also correspondence with Emilio Azcarraga, Allen Nevins, Nelson Rockefeller, Raymond Gram Swing, Edward Tomlinson, and Sylvester L. Weaver Jr.

Trammell, Niles. (1894-1973). Papers, 1939-1955
Physical Description: 4 boxes (2.9 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note

Papers of an NBC president (1940-1948), chairman of the board (1949-1952), and consultant (1952-1955), consisting of correspondence, memoranda, reports, financial data, notes, and related material. The papers are divided chronologically by year and then alphabetically by subject and are best for Trammell's tenure as president, an important period in the development of television at NBC. There is also a small amount of material concerning the FCC, 1938-1939, and miscellaneous correspondence regarding Trammell's work after 1952 with the Biscayne Television Corporation, in Miami, Florida. Throughout, there are files relating to his dealings with advertisers, his position on governmental regulation, and his relations with NBC entertainers.

Most notable perhaps are the files relating to NBC's post-war planning; located here are detailed memoranda drafted by heads of NBC departments, divisions, and stations in response to Trammell's request for two-year activity projections. Files on the Blue Network, NBC's Stations Planning Advisory Committee, and national political conventions are also prominent. Other important material concerns NBC wartime broadcasting, the recording of radio programs, and Trammell's assessment of the first year of direction by Sylvester L. Weaver Jr., and Robert W. Sarnoff.

Several significant complaints about NBC programs and performers were also handled by Trammell. Especially noteworthy are those regarding news commentators Upton Close and Edward Tomlinson and a complaint by William T. Evjue about the editing of Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow of his remarks concerning Joseph R. McCarthy. There is also material on televised sporting events and on such entertainment shows as “Amahl and the Night Visitors,” broadcast on NBC Opera Theatre; Colgate Comedy; and Duffey's Tavern. Among Trammell's NBC correspondents are John F. Royal, David Sarnoff, Joseph V. McConnell, William S. Hedges, and Frank E. Mullen. Other prominent correspondents are indexed below.

Weaver, Sylvester L., Jr. (1908-2002). Papers, 1949-1956
Physical Description: 10 boxes (9.0 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note

Papers of Sylvester L. Weaver Jr., also known as Pat Weaver, vice president for television (1949-1953), president (1953-1955), and chairman of the board (1955-1956).

The bulk of this material consists of correspondence and memos, but clippings, reports, logs, and a variety of financial statements are also included. The papers are divided first by year and then alphabetically by subject. Although incomplete, they are best for Weaver's years as vice president in charge of television and as president. These early files contain significant correspondence and memos about the Robert Montgomery Show, Fibber McGee and Molly, Howdy Doody, Kukla, Fran and Ollie, The Kate Smith Show, and Saturday Night. Particularly well-documented are Weaver's relations with advertising firms, performers and their agents, and NBC executives. His part in pioneering the shift from single to multiple advertisers for TV programs, referred to as the “magazine concept,” is amply documented. The papers also reflect his involvement in performer contract negotiations, his role in NBC's expansion into color television, his development of NBC “spectaculars,” and his inquiries into NBC relations with motion picture companies. Unfortunately, the collection contains little documentation for one of Weaver's main accomplishments, the development of such notable television shows as Today, Home, and Tonight and nothing regarding his resignation from NBC. The papers include numerous letters to and from television performers, e.g. Fred Allen, Steve Allen, Milton Berle, Eddie Cantor, Dave Garroway, and Jerry Lester. There is also an extensive amount of correspondence with other NBC executives, especially Thomas McAvity, Joseph V. McConnell, Richard Pinkham, John F. Royal, Manie Sacks, David Sarnoff, Robert W. Sarnoff, Davidson Taylor, and Niles Trammell.

Subseries: Public Relations, 1932-1961

Scope and Content Note: The public relations files include: William F. Brooks papers; Advertising; Continuity Acceptance; and Press and Publicity.
⇧
Brooks, William F. (1902-1975). Papers, 1950-1952
Physical Description: 4 boxes (2.0 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note

Papers of an NBC vice-president for public relations which document overall responsibility in this area. The papers consist of correspondence, memos, pamphlets, reports, speeches, clippings, scripts, and related material. In addition to material relating to this position, there is also a small amount of documentation regarding Brooks' earlier tenure as vice-president for new and special events. The bulk of the documentation relating to that period in his career, however, may be found with the news and special events files. The public relations papers are divided into three groups: SUBJECT FILES, DEPARTMENTAL FILES, and PROGRAM FILES.

Responsibility for public relations is best evidenced by the many letters and speeches which Brooks prepared or reviewed for use by NBC executives and by correspondence and internal memoranda regarding public reaction to programs and other NBC activities. The most significant files are those on race relations, especially those concerning employment policies; on the broadcasting of the Kefauver Crime Commission hearings; on the news and special events, press and publicity, and public affairs departments; and on several programs. Files for Kukla, Fran, and Ollie, Victory at Sea, We, the People, and The Quick and the Dead are particularly interesting, as are those on American Forum of the Air and The Kate Smith Show which contain scripts. Other noteworthy material concerns NBC's 25th anniversary, the Voice of America (operated by NBC personnel), television broadcasting, and the mobile unit.

Correspondence of significance from Tallulah Bankhead and Herbert Bayard Swope is to be found in their respective folders. NBC executives of prominence in the files are Henry Cassidy, Charles Denny, Sidney H. Eiges, William S. Hedges, Stockton Helffrich, John K. Herbert, Joseph V. McConnell, Joseph Meyers, John F. Royal, David Sarnoff, Edward Stanley, Davidson Taylor, Niles Trammell, and Fred Wile.

Broadcast Promotion Files, 1950-1956
Physical Description: 2 boxes (1.4 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Files of the broadcast promotion department of the audience promotion division. Created in June 1955, this unit prepared spot announcements for network on-the-air and affiliated station promotion of programs. The files represent the combined files of several individuals: Frank Macaulay, Thaine Engle, Joe Cooke, Clyde Clem, and Dick Blake. They, along with others, were responsible for writing, producing, and scheduling network identification announcements and program advertisements of less than one minute in length. The bulk of the files are for the period 1954-1955, with a significant amount of material predating the creation of broadcast promotion. The papers divide into two alphabetically-arranged groups: SUBJECT FILES and PROGRAM FILES. The subject files contain internal memoranda, correspondence with affiliates and advertising agencies, advertising copy, exploitation reports, and a phonograph record. The program files consist largely of scripts for spot announcements, though some correspondence and scripts for One Touch of Venus, a musical comedy by S.J. Perelman and Ogden Nash, and a 1953 episode of Dragnet are also included. Fred Allen, Milton Berle, and Bob Hope are also represented in the files.

National Audience Promotion Division Files, 1950-1959
Physical Description: 5 boxes (3.6 cubic feet) and microfilm (35 mm) 
Scope and Content Note: Files of the division whose function was to build audiences through on-the-air and local station promotion and through newspaper and magazine advertising. The division appears to have been loosely organized and to have undergone several organizational changes during the period 1953-1955. For example, from September 1953 to March 1954 television and radio audience promotion were separate departments within the division. In 1955, national audience promotion was divided into broadcast and audience (also called station) promotion units. Activities of national audience promotion included preparation of promotional kits for use by affiliates, encouragement of participation in cooperative newspaper advertising plans, and production of ads (both written and broadcast) for sponsored network programs. These files were merged from the offices of several individuals, particularly Clyde Clem, Manager of national audience promotion, and Thaine Engle, supervisor of national audience promotion; others include Raymond Johnson, John Hurlbut, John Porter, and Edwin Vane. The files are divided into four alphabetically-arranged groups: SUBJECT FILES, STATION FILES, PROGRAM FILES, and PROMOTION KITS. The bulk of the material is from the period 1953-1955, though a few of the subject files date from 1958 and 1959 and some promotion kits pertain to the 1952-1953 and 1957-1958 seasons. The subject files contain internal memoranda, correspondence with affiliates, reports on promotional campaigns, monthly and annual reports, financial records, and advertising estimates and layouts. Station files consist almost entirely of correspondence with station promotion managers. The program files contain memos, telegrams, correspondence, advertising copy, and reports for over fifty programs. Best documented of these are All Star Revue, Big Story, Bob Hope Show, Hallmark Hall of Fame, Medic, Meet the Press, Wide, Wide World, and Youth Wants to Know. There are promotion kits for such programs as Dragnet, Meet the Press, various daytime serials, and some news programs.

Physical Description: 2 boxes (1.2 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Papers of an NBC vice-president in charge of advertising. The bulk of the papers are for the period 1956-1957 and reflect Pinkham's responsibilities for network on-the-air promotion, station promotion, and newspaper and magazine advertising. A small amount of material concerns his earlier duties as executive producer of Today and as vice-president in charge of the program department.

Some of the noteworthy program files are those for The Steve Allen Show, Today, Home, and Tonight. There is also significant representation of the work of several NBC executives and other personnel, including Kenneth Bilby, Sidney H. Eiges, Thaine Engle, Thomas McAvity, James Nelson, John Porter, Al Rylander, Davidson Taylor, Edwin Vane, and Mort Werner. A letter from William Shirer is located in Box 140, Folder 43.

Porter, John H. Papers, 1949-1958
Physical Description: 2 boxes (1.2 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Papers of a manager of television sales and promotion and of national advertising and promotion. The papers have been divided into two groups; the first group is divided into alphabetically-arranged subject files and sales presentation kits and the second group into subject files and promotion files. The earlier papers chiefly concern preparation of sales kits; the later files reveal Porter's greater interest in the overall operation of the advertising department including his part in implementing significant budget cuts in 1957. Both sets of subject files contain correspondence and memoranda, reports on topics such as audience response, promotional campaigns, and advertising copy. The program files generally provide sparse coverage, the exception to this being those files for The Bob Hope Show, Queen for a Day, and Wagon Train. Among the NBC executives and personnel represented in Porter's papers are Kenneth Bilby, Thaine Engle, John K. Herbert, Ridgeway Hughes, Richard R. Pinkham, Robert W. Sarnoff, and Edwin Vane.

Arranged alphabetically by program, the papers consist of plans, schedules, publicity releases, production information, advertising copy, memoranda, correspondence, bulletins, and other material relating to five programs.

Station Promotion Files, 1948-1957
Physical Description: 3 boxes (1.8 cubic feet) and microfilm (35 mm) 
Scope and Content Note: Integrated files of the station promotion department of NBC's audience promotion and television affiliates. The bulk of the files are for 1955 and 1956 and are primarily from the offices of Raymond C. Johnson, manager of station promotion, and Clyde Clem and Thaine Engle, who preceded Johnson as supervisors of audience promotion before the creation of the department in 1955. The files contain correspondence, memos, promotional copy, photographs, speeches, questionnaires, schedules, reports, pamphlets, financial data, press releases, and related material and are divided into three groups: SUBJECT FILES, PROGRAM FILES, and PROMOTION KITS. Although the files generally concern routine operations, files on cooperative advertising between NBC and its affiliates, a spot advertisement estimator used for time sales, NBC's 30th anniversary, competition with other networks, and promotion of color are of special note. There are also interesting files for several programs including Bandstand, Cavalcade of Sports, The Lone Ranger, Monitor, and Weekday. Among the promotional kits are materials for Meet the Press, National Farm and Home Hour, and One Man's Family. There is a significant amount of correspondence with Kenneth Bilby, vice president for public relations.

Program Files, 1938-1961
Physical Description: 2 boxes (1.4 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note

Files on programming decisions of the continuity acceptance department. The bulk of these files covers the mid-1940s through the mid-1950s and contains correspondence, memoranda, newsclippings, reports, telegrams, scripts, press releases, and related material. For the most part, the files are comprised of carbons of outgoing correspondence and material received by Stockton Helffrich, director of continuity acceptance through most of the 1940s and 1950s. There is also a significant amount of material from department personnel who preceded Helffrich.

Documented in the program files are decisions on the broadcast acceptability of more than one hundred radio and television programs. Of special concern was the treatment of sensitive subjects and the use of profane, suggestive, or derogatory language and actions. The files also document concern for proper conduct of quiz shows and contests, scheduling of appropriate commercials, and avoidance of “product plugs” on live programming. The files for soap operas and other dramatic productions reveal a conscious support of traditional mores and values.

All programs listed are not equally documented, but the more substantial files include scripts and departmental reports. Programs which received adverse public reaction often have clippings and copies of audience mail. For television shows filmed in Hollywood, there are copies of reports on difficulties with shooting scripts or kinescope previews, as well as considerable correspondence between Helffrich and Hollywood personnel.

The files have been arranged into one alphabetical sequence by program titles, with those programs which are sparsely represented segregated into a miscellaneous category. Among the NBC executives well represented in the program files are Wade Arnold, Kenneth Bilby, William F. Brooks, William Hedges, John K. Herbert, Joseph V. McConnell, William Burke Miller, Carleton D. Smith, and Sidney Strotz.

CART Reports, 1951-1960
Physical Description: 1 box (0.2 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note

Reports sent to department personnel, radio and television program personnel, and owned-and-operated stations. Written by Stockton Helffrich, director of the continuity acceptance department, these mimeographed monthly reports are chatty, reflective, and designed to inform subscribers about NBC decisions and policies. Often as much as six pages in length, the reports include summaries and examples of audience complaints, refer to newspaper and magazine columnists' program reviews, cite changing social views and attitudes, and remark on the activities the National Association of Broadcasters, NBC's affiliates, and other broadcasting groups. Throughout, Helffrich examined the nature and role of broadcast censorship and its relationship to decisions on programs containing profanity, questionable amounts of sex and violence, certain portrayals of racial and ethnic groups, misleading or false commercials, and related topics. Many of the reports mention specific programs which provoked audience and/or journalistic comment; others contain examples of segments cut from NBC scripts.

Arranged chronologically, the CART reports are complete for the years 1954 through 1959. For 1951, 1953, and 1960 there is only one monthly report per year; there are no reports for 1952.

Brown, Milton. Papers, 1956
Physical Description: 2 boxes (0.6 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Papers of a manager of program publicity. Operating within the press department, program publicity was responsible for generating and coordinating routine promotion of NBC broadcasts by supplying background information and story ideas to the network, affiliated stations, and the print media. Divided into two alphabetically-arranged groups, CORRESPONDENCE and SUBJECT FILES, the collection consists of correspondence, memoranda, biographical sketches of entertainers, production information, plans, reports, publicity releases, fact sheets, Trendex ratings, and other material relating to daily operations. Documentation is present for a wide variety of NBC productions, including The Dinah Shore Show, Meet the Press, Modern Romances, and several quiz and audience participation programs. In sum, the papers illustrate the cooperation between the network and the print media in creating television coverage. Kenneth Bilby, Sidney H. Eiges, Michael Horton, Ellis Moore, and Al Rylander are all represented in Brown's files.

Eiges, Sidney H. (1909-1985). Papers, 1946-1958
Physical Description: 23 boxes (22.2 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note

Papers of a vice president for press and publicity who joined NBC as a press department writer in 1941. Included are correspondence, clippings, memos, logs, reports, speeches, minutes, financial records, press releases, drafts, photographs, and related material. First divided chronologically by year, the papers are then arranged as subject and department files. Taken together, the papers clearly reflect Eiges' responsibility for institutional and program publicity. Though much of the material is routine, there are some important files, especially those concerning reports; promotional campaigns; and press department coordination between New York, Chicago, and Hollywood. Especially noteworthy are the files on the development of the exploitation unit under Al Rylander. There is also significant material regarding such programs as “Amahl and the Night Visitors,” which was aired by NBC Opera Theatre; Medic; Fibber McGee and Molly; The Big Show; Victory at Sea; Howdy Doody; and the three major talk shows - Today, Home, and Tonight. Prominent entertainers mentioned in Eiges' files include Fred Allen, Steven Allen, Dinah Shore, and Arturo Toscanini; prominent correspondents are listed below.

Throughout, there is noteworthy documentation of Eiges' relations with advertising agencies, newspapers, magazines, and affiliated radio and television stations. For most years, the files concern awards, ratings, the Public Relations Society of America, the National Association of Radio and Television Broadcaster, and Eiges' Columbia University course on radio and television publicity. Interesting and substantive files also relate to color television “spectaculars,” the Army-McCarthy hearings, and NBC's relations with the black community, particularly as they regarded employment policies. Because Eiges reported to the vice-president for public relations, there is a good deal of memoranda exchanged with the two men who held that position during the years documented here, William F. Brooks and Kenneth Bilby. In addition there is a considerable amount of correspondence, speeches, articles, and related public announcements by NBC executives sent to the press department for editing and approval. Among the more significant executive files are those for Charles Denny, Edward Madden, John F. Royal, David Sarnoff, Robert W. Sarnoff, Niles Trammell, and Sylvester L. Weaver Jr.

There are two scripts in Eiges' files: the first part of The Quick and the Dead (Box 161, Folder 5) and an August 15, 1954, broadcast of American Forum of the Air entitled “McCarthy: A Force for Good of Evil?” (Box 165, Folder 40).

A select correspondent index is below.

Publications, 1932-1960
Physical Description: 2 boxes (2.0 cubic feet) and microfilm (35 mm) 
Scope and Content Note

Incomplete runs of two titles issued by the press department for NBC affiliates and the news media: Advance Program Schedules (1938-1960) and News Features (1932-1948). News Features are spotty for the period 1932-1938 during which time the publication was known as NBC Feature Service. Included in the features is information about network programs and stars, together with cuts of photographs available for illustrations. The majority of the features relate to television programs. At the end of this sequence are a number of miscellaneous undated feature stories.

The weekly and sometimes bi-weekly program listings usually include program descriptions, information on broadcast time, notices of program changes, indications of commercial or sustaining status, place of origination, and for television, whether the broadcast was in color. Radio advance schedules are on microfilm and are arranged into three sections: network schedules (1938-1956), WEAF (1944-1946) and WNBC (1946-1947). The television schedules are for the network and are arranged into one alphabetical group.

Scope and Content Note: Papers of a research associate involved in the planning and execution of Television's Daytime Profile: Buying Habits and Characteristics of the Audience, a survey which was conducted by W. R. Simmons and Associates in consultation with the Advertising Research Foundation. Baiman handled requests from advertisers for individually-tailored tabulations of the results. His files contain final drafts of results presentations, correspondence, internal NBC memos, and the variatyped dummy of the final report. The report is very thorough and includes technical appendices on the sample design, questioning methods, and reliability of the study results. A copy of the questionnaire and the computer card codebook containing the response to each question complete the documentation. Thomas E. Coffin and Hugh M. Beville are well represented in these files.

Titles vary over time, but the nature of the bulletins remain substantially constant: information on advertising developments and trends, analyses of sponsored time on the networks, studies of viewing and listening habits, and NBC research projects. By far, the greatest number of bulletins concern ratings of NBC programs by such audience measurement organizations as A. C. Nielsen and Arbitron. Some later bulletins focus more closely on daytime television audiences and sports programming.

Coffin, Thomas E. Papers, 1948-1952
Physical Description: 3 boxes (1.0 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note

Papers of an NBC supervisor of television program research who was primarily responsible for pioneering studies of television sales effectiveness. The studies were conducted in the New York metropolitan area by NBC in cooperation with Hofstra College in 1949 and 1951, and they point out the advertising superiority of television. Coffin began work on these studies while head of the Psychology Department of Hofstra College. In 1949 he joined NBC as a research associate, shortly thereafter becoming television research supervisor. Some of the files pre-date his employment at NBC and contain material which originated in the files of other NBC executives such as Hugh M. Beville, Edward England, Jack Landis, and William Reynolds.

For the most part, these papers represent the working papers of the project. Probably the most interesting material is found in the correspondence, which contains exchanges between project participants regarding the scope and methods of the Hofstra studies. Throughout there are correspondence, memos, statistical data, drafts, reports, notes, questionnaires, and related material. There is also commentary for promotional slide shows.

In addition to the two major NBC-Hofstra studies, the papers also document a study of summer television viewing, 1951, and miscellaneous radio and television studies by NBC and other research groups, 1948-1951. Among the miscellaneous studies are several of note: a Hofstra College project which measured the effects of television on family life, NBC-sponsored studies on audience reaction to Abbott and Costello and Fearless Fosdick, radio sales effectiveness, radio news listening in television homes during the Korean War, and length of television commercials, the effect of television on sports, and the reaction to large-screen theatre showings of Camel News Caravan.

The bulk of the files pertain to the period 1955-1957, though there is a significant amount of material dating from as early as 1947. The files are arranged as one alphabetical group and, though carbons of outgoing letters and memos predominate, there are also bulletins, reports, studies, financial data, notes, and related material. For the most part the files document the activities of Allen B. Cooper, manager of the markets and media division; there is also a significant amount of material for Bernard Lipsky, supervisor of marketing (later advertising) and of Hugh M. Beville, director of research and planning. The files reveal quite well the division's responsibilities for studies of broadcast audiences and for reports on prospective sponsors prepared for use by other NBC departments and divisions. A substantial number of the files also pertain to studies of advertising in the print and broadcast media which NBC produced to convince sponsors of the value of broadcast advertising. There are reports throughout from the market research firm of Daniel Starch and Staff. Among the most prominent NBC executives represented in these files are Sidney H. Eiges, Richard Pinkham, and Sylvester L. Weaver Jr. Oversized material from this section may be found in Box 563, Folders 5-7.

Physical Description: 3 boxes (2.4 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note

Reports and studies divided into two groups: independent research organizations and NBC's research and planning department. Most of the reports and studies concern the effectiveness of television as an advertising medium, the impact of color, and the appeal of individual programs; a few scattered items pertain to radio. The reports and studies done by independent organizations are arranged alphabetically by name.

About three-fourths of the reports and studies were produced by Advertest Research Inc. Located here is an almost complete set of monthly reports, The Television Audience Today; the “Colortown Study” on the development and impact of color television; and the “Media Effectiveness study conducted for the Automotive Industry.” Based on personal interviews in the New York area, each of Advertest's Television Audience of Today reports covers a particular topic in depth. Examples include television vs. radio; product usage in television homes, and weekend viewing habits. Several of the reports are annotated or contain memoranda by NBC personnel.

Three organizations -- Jerome Barnum Associates, Allan C. Russell Research, and Schwerin Research -- produced reports and studies on the appeal of selected programs and pilots including Caesar's Hour, Howdy Doody, and Pinky Lee. Reports relating to automobile advertising and purchasing can be found under Qualitative Research Inc. and William H. Weintraub & Company Noteworthy among the NBC Research Department reports is “Why Sales Come in Curves.”

Rumple, Barry T. Memoranda, 1941-1945
Physical Description: 1 box (0.4 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Memoranda prepared by a manager of research which summarize monthly and semi-monthly reports produced by the research firms of C. E. Hooper Inc., and the Cooperative Analysis of Broadcasting, 1941-1945. The memos are bound in three volumes; three volumes summarize Hooper and CAB reports on commercial and sustaining programs aired over NBC and the other major networks and the remaining volume concerns Hooper reports on NBC sustaining programs, 1941-1943. There is some duplication here of information in the other three volumes. Information supplied varies somewhat between Hooper and CAB reports, but all reports include data on current program ratings, previous ranking, and points change. The fifty leading commercial programs are listed in rating order. Often included, especially for the Hooper reports, are data on the audiences for limited network and regional programs, five-minute broadcasts (usually news), special events, and programs broadcast after 10:30 EST. Reports on sustaining programs often indicate the air time and frequency per week of programs reported.

Physical Description: 1 box (0.4 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Reports on war-related programs and announcements broadcast by NBC, December 1941 through July 1945 and compiled by the program analysis division of the department. The reports identify NBC broadcasts by type (governmental announcements and programs, programs supported by outside organizations, and NBC's own commercial and sustaining programming). Typical of these broadcasts are recruiting announcements, war bond drives, presidential addresses, military band programs, and a great number of commercial and sustaining programs which treated war-related themes. For each broadcast there is information on its time, length, and broadcasting regularity. There is also significant program information, summarizing major themes and listing prominent performers. The reports are semi-monthly through 1942 and monthly thereafter. Prior to May 1943 they contain separate broadcast data for station WEAF.

Files, 1950-1951, 1956, 1960
Physical Description: 1 box (0.4 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Integrated files from the offices of several members of NBC's station relations department, consisting of memos, reports, bulletins, minutes, correspondence, clippings, and related material. The files are divided by media and deal chiefly with the reception of NBC programs by affiliates and with FCC actions regarding affiliates. The folder on Monitor is particularly noteworthy because it contains a report on that program conducted by the Bureau of Applied Social Research of Columbia University.
Related Material: More extensive office files for this period may be found in the collection presented to the Society by Harry R. Bannister.

Woolley, Easton C. Papers, 1940-1951
Physical Description: 6 boxes (4.0 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Papers of a director of radio station relations, together with some papers related to several predecessors and one successor. Included are memos, surveys, reports, bulletins, minutes, correspondence, clippings and related materials. The files are divided into SUBJECT and GENERAL FILES, with a separate subjection on the STATION PLANNING AND ADVISORY COMMITTEE. The papers represent the ongoing relationship between NBC and its affiliated stations. Some of the more extensive areas of documentation include planning, research, traffic, and rates. In addition, special files deal with compensation of stations, the FCC, network policies and “Red Tab” sales policy memos. Most notable are the research files documenting the setting of rates in competition with CBS. There are also extensive files of the traffic between NBC and the various affiliates. Some notable files deal with the reclassification of employees during the war to avoid the draft, a report on the vulnerability of affiliates, Interim Conelrad (the procedure initiated in case of enemy air attack in the early 1950s), a brief history of affiliated stations (1942-1945), and a supervisory inventory containing comments and suggestions from station employees and work ratings. There are also extensive files on the Station Planning and Advisory Committee which appeared to have acted as a sounding board for affiliates to the network as well as a regular vehicle for the network to share information with affiliates.

Reports, 1931-1956
Physical Description: 5 boxes (5.0 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note

Monthly reports of division and station engineers throughout the country. The reports are quite detailed and change significantly in format over time, and though the information supplied is often routine (e.g. equipment maintenance reports, power and frequency studies, and personnel changes), there is also information on the origination of NBC programming, special field broadcasts, and from 1931, the development of television. Generally there is more detail for New York City operations than for other areas; for the early 1940s this New York material is the only data supplied.

There are some other gaps in coverage, most notably for the 1933-1935 and 1946-1948 periods.

Theiss, Ernest W. Papers, 1948-1957
Physical Description: 3 boxes (3.0 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Selected papers of a manager of production operations. This group of NBC records is arranged functionally into PROGRAM OPERATIONS and those divisions under Theiss; BROADCAST FILM (Stanley Parlan, manager); and BROADCAST OPERATIONS (Edward Whitney, manager). Included in the latter section are broadcast coordination plans, scripts, notes, and miscellaneous other files pertaining to Wide, Wide World, a weekly program featuring Dave Garroway. The collection also contains files for two subdivisions of broadcast operations: broadcast routines (Peter Affe, Edward Whitney, and Sumner Glimcher, supervisors, successively) and broadcast operations coordination. The broadcast routines segment includes samples of television operations routines, both for WNBC and for the network as a whole, which list broadcast coordinators, announcers, and the routing and timing of each program. With the exception of the Wide, Wide World material, the papers are limited; nevertheless, the documentation presents an outline of the functions of the department.

Hedges, William S. (1895-1978). Papers, 1951, 1953-1955
Physical Description: 2 boxes (1.2 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Papers of an NBC vice-president for integrated services, 1951-1959, which consist of fragmentary and routine correspondence, clippings, memos, reports, charts, speeches, financial data, and related material. Divided chronologically by year and then alphabetically by subject, the files are best for Hedges' responsibility for the divisions of integrated services: the general library, guest relations, transportation, traffic, purchasing, and the night executive officer. The papers treat such varied topics as union negotiations, safety regulations, disposition of NBC facilities, tours and displays, and television demonstrations. Hedges' activity in several professional organizations is reflected in the files on the National Association of Radio and Television Broadcasters, the oral history project of the Radio Pioneers and Columbia University, and the Radio and Television Executives Society.
Related Material: Hedges personally presented to the Society a small collection of separately-catalogued papers which includes some materials on his earlier years with NBC. The register for this collection includes more detailed biographical information.

Scope and Content Note

Miscellaneous print and near-print material prepared by various NBC departments and divisions for distribution to advertisers, affiliates, employees, and the general public. The materials are of two kinds: speeches and articles and other kinds of printed matter.

PRINTED MATTER, which is arranged alphabetically by office of creation, varies in character and completeness. Publications which warrant special mention include statements of program policies and broadcast standards; annual reviews and reports; The Fourth Chime, a history of NBC News; and mimeographed newsletters issued by WMAQ and the Western Network for their overseas employees during World War II. Many titles, especially those of the press department, are not complete; their presence is intended merely as illustration of the types of material issued. Further examples of many titles may be found scattered in the records.

SPEECHES AND ARTICLES are alphabetically-arranged by name. As with the above material, copies of additional speeches by these and other NBC executives may be found throughout the records.

Smith, Carleton D. (1905-). Papers, 1952
Physical Description: 2 boxes (0.6 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Papers of a vice-president and director of operations of the owned-and-operated stations division. Although both Smith and John Gaines held the title of vice-president concurrently, Smith appears subordinate in the organizational structure. The papers are comprised of STATIONS FILES and SUBJECT FILES, both of which are arranged alphabetically. Like Gaines, Smith's collection reflects his general responsibility for spot sales and programming structure at stations such as KOA/KOA-TV and WRC-WNBW.

McFadden, Thomas B. (1917-). Papers, 1947-1950, 1956
Physical Description: 2 boxes (0.6 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Papers of a general manager of WRCA/WRCA-TV who was director of spot sales, 1952-1954, and vice president of owned-and-operated stations and spot sales in 1954. The papers pertain to his first tenure as general manager and to a period during 1956 when, although heading the O & O division, he again seems to have exercised responsibility as general manager at WRCA. The collection is divided into SUBJECT FILES and PROGRAM FILES, with individual folders arranged alphabetically. The collection pertains chiefly to programming, advertising, and promotion at WRCA, although the later files contain some fragmentary material on the O & O division as a whole.

News Scripts, 1960-1969
Physical Description: 12 boxes (11.2 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: A sample of news scripts broadcast by WNBC and WNBC-TV. The series is arranged chronologically with radio and television scripts filed together. Although the holdings span the period 1960-1969, coverage is best for the first half of the decade. Even for this period the sample clusters around the major national news events such as the national political conventions and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The majority of the local radio news was broadcast in untitled format, but the television files include substantial examples of news broadcast on such programs as The Eleventh Hour News and The Pressman-Ryan Report.

Physical Description: 70 boxes (47.0 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Public Affairs are arranged into four sections: James Davidson Taylor Papers; News; Public Service; and Sports.
⇧
Taylor, James Davidson (1907-). Papers, 1951-1954
Physical Description: 4 boxes (3.4 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Papers of the broadcaster who joined NBC in January, 1951, as general production executive; became director of public affairs in midsummer, 1952; and in September, 1954, was promoted to vice-president in charge of public affairs. These files reflect all three responsibilities and are arranged first chronologically by year and then into General Subject Files and Program Files which are filed alphabetically. Both categories include the same types of material: correspondence, press releases, clippings, sales promotions, and interdepartmental memoranda and reports. The subject files contain a large amount of material on educational, religious, and sports programs and special events. One will also find considerable documentation reflecting Taylor's overall responsibility for news broadcasting and as a result news executives such as William McAndrew appear prominently in the papers. Programs which are particularly well documented include American Forum of the Air, K2: The Savage Mountain, Out on the Farm, Victory at Sea, Youth Wants to Know, and the broadcasts on the coronation of Elizabeth II.

News, 1947-1967
Physical Description: 42 boxes (29.0 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Arranged into twelve sections: Len Allen Papers; William F. Brooke Papers; Henry C. Cassidy Papers; Reuven Frank Production Files; Eliot Frankel Production Files; William Garden Papers; Irving Gitlin Production Files; Gerald Green Production Files; France C. McCall Papers; Joseph O. Meyers Papers; Ted Mills Production Files; Merrill Mueller Papers.
Allen, Len. Papers, 1956, 1958
Physical Description: 3 boxes (2.4 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Papers of a television news editor primarily concerning the gathering of film from foreign countries for use on news programs. Like other news and special events department collections, the papers divide chronologically by year (with the bulk of the material dating from 1956), and then into General Subject Files, Foreign Office Files, Station Files, Program Files, and Correspondents Files. The Foreign Office Files, which are arranged alphabetically by country, comprise the bulk of the collection. Here one will find material not only on places where NBC had established offices, but also countries to which the network sent reporters and cameramen on temporary assignment. Included are cables, correspondence, lists, lists of film used by local stations and foreign outlets, and some financial material. Much of the correspondence consists of letters and cables from cameramen, stringers, and foreign correspondents such as Cecil Brown, Frank Bourgholtzer, John Chancellor, Irving R. Levine, Joseph C. Harsch, Merrill Mueller, Edwin Newman, and Welles Hangan. Other names in the correspondence include William McAndrew and Reuven Frank.

Brooks, William F. Papers, 1948-1950
Physical Description: 6 boxes (4.8 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note

Papers of a vice-president of news and special events who joined NBC in 1943 to direct expanded wartime news coverage after a long career with the AP. Although this section pertains to only a brief period in Brook's career with the network, the period is important because it witnessed the early development of televised news broadcasting. Late in 1950 Brooks was appointed vice-president in charge of public relations, and more of his papers may be found in that section.

Like the other papers in the news and special events department, Brooks' papers divide first by year and then into the following subfiles: subject files, departmental files, foreign office files, program files, station files, and correspondents files. Included is a wide variety of material such as audience mail, logs, policy directives, interdepartmental memoranda, reports of various kinds, correspondence from overseas newsmen such as Merrill Mueller and Henry Cassidy, and other items reflecting Brooks' overall responsibility for news broadcasting. Of particular interest is the documentation on the 1948 political convention, the Voice of America, and NBC's international relations for which Brooks was at one time responsible. There is also good material on several news programs such as News of the World, The Quick and the Dead, and Who Said That?, various logs and reports, together with memoranda circulated by such employees as Joseph O. Meyers provide good coverage of the internal, day-to-day activities of the department.

Physical Description: 2 boxes (0.8 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note

Papers of a European director of NBC news who became director of radio news and special events, succeeding William F. Brooks. As with the other news files this small collection is arranged by year and then into General Subject Files, Departmental Files, Foreign Office Files, Program Files, Owned-and-Operating Stations Files, and Individual Correspondents Files. Within each category the material is arranged alphabetically. Of note are the files on the coverage of the 1952 political conventions, the 25th anniversary of NBC, and the reports found in the newsroom file. Throughout there is extensive material on the work of Joseph O. Meyers.

The Society's other MCHC holdings include a collection of papers donated personally by Cassidy, which consist almost entirely of scripts, 1945-1958.

Garden, William. Papers, 1947-1951
Physical Description: 3 boxes (2.4 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note

Papers of a television producer responsible for many on-location broadcasting techniques. Garden's precise titles and responsibilities are somewhat difficult to trace in the papers, perhaps due to the rapid development of the television broadcasting department. In mid-1948 as producer-director, field programs, television department, he took over supervision of the mobile unit from Noel Jordan, some of whose papers, 1947-1948, may also be found here. Until 1950 he was director of field programs, television department; at that time he was named supervisor of special events and the mobile unit division which were placed under television news and special events, and to a growing degree, under sports. In June, 1951, Garden was succeeded by John Mills, who, though listed as sports producer, seems to have exercised the same responsibilities for the mobile unit as Garden. In addition, one small folder inherited by Garden relates to the work of Burke Crotty, who was producer of the TV mobile unit as early as 1940.

The papers, which consist of correspondence, memoranda, publicity, financial material, field reports, routines, notes, facilities order, a few scripts, and forms indicating equipment used and its placement, are of unusual value for studying the development of broadcasting technique. In addition to much data on sport coverage, there are notes on the initiation of pooled coverage of the 1948 political conventions, material on the opening of AT & T lines between the East Coast and the Midwest, and such innovative dramatic programs as City at Midnight. In general the files are divided chronologically and then into two alphabetical subfiles - general subject files and assignment files. The 1947 material, however, is arranged solely as subject files.

Physical Description: 3 boxes (1.0 cubic foot) 
Scope and Content Note: Production files of a news executive producer known for his development of documentaries both for NBC and earlier for CBS. Documentation in this collection consists entirely of material on The Nation's Future, a weekly series of debates on contemporary foreign and domestic issues.

Other personnel in the files include Robert Allison, who produced the program until Arthur Barron took over in January 1961. Edwin Newman and John McCaffery were featured as moderators. Among the debaters prominently noted are A. A. Berle (Box 303, Folder 14), William F. Buckley (Box 304, Folder 4), Norman Cousins (Box 304, Folder 16), William O. Douglas (Box 305, Folder 2), James Hoffa (Box 304, Folder 15), Martin Luther King (Box 303, Folder 12), and Henry Kissinger (Box 304, Folder).

McCall, Francis C. (1907-). Papers, 1948-1949, 1951-1952
Physical Description: 3 boxes (2.4 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Papers of the news executive who joined NBC in Chicago in 1936 and who became manager of news operations in 1942, and director of news and special events in 1950. The papers are arranged chronologically by year (although those pertaining to 1950 are absent) and then into the standard alphabetical subdivisions which characterize the news files: general subject files, NBC departmental files, foreign offices files, program files, station files, and correspondents files. The chief exception to this occurs in 1948 where the files are fragmentary and refer chiefly to network coverage of national politics. Political coverage also forms an important subject for the other years documented in McCall's papers. Other important topics include the coronation of Elizabeth II and football. After his promotion to news director the papers reflect a broad responsibility for the production of news programs, writing of news scripts, and scheduling and the files contain material relting to McCall's dealings with various correspondents, overseas offices (particularly London), and NBC affiliates in the United States. Also included are memoranda circulated to and from news executives such as William McAndrew and Joseph Meyers and informal departmental logs, program reports, and reports on international pickups. The papers are especially useful for information on the production of America at Mid-Century, American Forum of the Air, American Inventory, Meet the Press, News of the World, Voices and Events, Watch the World, and the beginning of Today.

Meyers, Joseph O. Papers, 1950-1957
Physical Description: 8 boxes (7.4 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note

Papers of a manager of news operations who assumed that responsibility upon the promotion of Frank McCall in 1950. The files are divided chronologically by year and span the period 1950 to 1957. The papers pertaining to 1956, however, are only fragmentary. For each year the papers divide into the usual subdivisions of the News and Special Events Department: general subject files, NBC departmental files, foreign office files, station files, program files, and correspondents files. The chief exception to this filing scheme concerns the material dating from November, 1952 to November, 1953; at this time Meyers maintained daily correspondence files which consisted of carbons of outgoing letters, telegrams, and memoranda. These daily files are included within the subject files for their respective years. Because Meyers' responsibilities were broad but chiefly concerned with day-to-day operations of the news department, the daily correspondence files, together with the various kinds of logs he compiled provide an excellent source for examining the routine functioning of the department during the 1950s.

Meyers' duties included contact with the news staff, affiliated stations, wire services, overseas correspondents, direct selection of news stories, and supervision of all newsroom productions. As a result his papers contain frequent reference to William McAndrew and Len Allen. There is also correspondence with correspondents such as Joseph C. Harsch, Edwin Newman and Irving R. Levine concerning their assignments and difficulties in filing stories. The program files contain important material on the launching of Monitor, News on the Hour, The Quick and the Dead, and the coverage of the 1952 election.

Physical Description: 2 boxes (0.6 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note

Papers of a supervisor of public service programs who succeeded to that responsibility with the retirement of Margaret Cuthbert in 1952; the files contain a few of Cuthbert's papers. Corwith held other titles at NBC including manager of operations of the department, supervisor of radio public affairs, supervisor of religious broadcasting, and supervisor of talks; only the first, however, is documented in these papers.

The files are arranged into SUBJECT FILES, DEPARTMENTAL FILES, and PROGRAM FILES, with a single folder of BIOGRAPHICAL MATERIAL. The bulk of the material relates to 1952, with the most significant portions pertaining to coordination of bookings for political campaigns and programs such as American Forum of the Air and The Author Speaks.

Culbertson, Dorothy. Papers, 1958-1961
Physical Description: 2 boxes (0.8 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Papers of an executive responsible for educational broadcasting at NBC during the 1950s and early 1960s. Chiefly represented here are papers about her association with Continental Classroom. The functionally-arranged files include one general file which contains correspondence, programming suggestions, and miscellany concerning her responsibility as coordinator of educational broadcasting and her on-going interest in these areas after transfer to Continental Classroom. Despite the slimness of this file, there are several interesting memos concerning the early, tentative nature of educational broadcasting on television. The majority of the papers here were generated in Culbertson's capacity as producer for Continental Classroom. Included is information on promotion, funding, cooperation with the Learning Resources Institute, and staffing. This documentation ends with her promotion to manager of educational broadcasting. Also in the collection is one folder of personal material. The name of Edward Stanley, her supervisor, appears frequently in the files.

Stanley, Edward. Papers, 1944, 1948-1965
Physical Description: 3 boxes (3.0 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note

Papers of a manager of public service programs. The majority of the files date from the period 1951-1953, the main exception being the material on his supervision of the Educational Television project, 1956-1960, and Continental Classroom, which developed from the project. The files divide into three categories: SUBJECT FILES, DEPARTMENTAL FILES, and PROGRAM FILES.

Of primary interest within the departmental files are the monthly staff reports. In the program files one will find various kinds of material such as correspondence, memoranda, scripts, contracts, and promotional material, particularly for programs such as Family Living, Last Man Out, Tactics, and Youth Brings You Music. There are also program files with the ETV material which is filed with the departmental material. These programs, which NBC produced for broadcast on the nation's educational television stations include Briefing Session, Decision for Research, and The Subject Is Jazz. There is also some informative correspondence dealing with the demise of Continental Classroom. Of interest in the subject files are the scripts and correspondence relating to Carl Sandburg's appearance on television (he was interviewed by Stanley). There is also some material on a media-wide promotion of Radio Free Europe and Stanley's personal interest in the National Urban League.

Physical Description: 1 box (1.0 cubic foot) 
Scope and Content Note

Papers of an executive vice-president for radio who joined NBC in 1950. The papers consist of memoranda, correspondence, legal affidavits, publicity and reports. In general the files contain correspondence between Cott and NBC affiliates concerning programming, sale of advertising, daily operations, and network relations. The files are arranged alphabetically.

Most extensive are the files which document the interaction between the network and its affiliates. Some notable files deal with the legal action taken by National Biscuit Company over a NBC advertising campaign called “Chain Lightning,” an idea developed by Cott, and a file on “Operation Booklift,” a charity drive spearheaded by Cott to offer inexpensive novels to the military in remote areas of the world. Among Cott's correspondents are William Fineshriber and Sylvester Weaver.

Vice-Presidents' Files, 1940-1942
Physical Description: 2 boxes (0.6 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note

A combined file of two vice-presidents for programming: Sidney N. Strotz (1940-1941) and Clarence N. Menser (1942). The files consist only of carbons of outgoing letters and memoranda and generally concern routine policy implementation; program production, especially the development of educational and cultural programs; material relating to the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers; relations with the Federal Communications Commission; and censorship. Divided first by individual, the files are then arranged chronologically. Two primary areas of concern are revealed: war-related emphasis on news coverage, development of patriotic programs, and cooperation with government agencies and secondly, corporate reorganization and emphasis on entertainment rather than educational and cultural programming.

Major correspondents include James Rowland Angell, Bertha Brainard, Samuel Chotzinoff, William S. Hedges, Frank E. Mullen, Frank Russell, A. A. Schecter, Niles Trammell, and Mark Woods.

Wogan, Robert. Papers, 1945-1956
Physical Description: 2 boxes (1.2 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Papers of a supervisor of network program operations, 1952-1955, as well as files he interited from his predecessors, Grant Tinker, 1950-1952, and James E. Kovach, 1948-1950. Also included are papers of R. T. O'Connell, who though listed as assistant to program manager Thomas McCray, seems to have exercised the same duties prior to 1948 as the operations supervisor. The papers are arranged as alphabetical PROGRAM FILES and SUBJECT FILES, which include a variety of material such as memoranda, booking orders, and correspondence relating to scheduling, traffic, timing, and continuity. Programs which are well documented include Collector's Item, Duffy's Tavern, Mind Your Manners, Pee Wee King, Portrait of a City, Truth or Consequences, and Wanted (for which Kovach was also the production supervisor).

Miles, Sackett D. Papers, 1933-1955
Physical Description: 6 boxes (2.4 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note

Papers of a manager of radio sales services and traffic, consisting of correspondence, facilities contracts, commercial executive orders, and information on scheduling, finances, sponsorship, traffic, broadcast quality, and relations between advertisers and individual affiliates. The papers are arranged as GENERAL PAPERS, ADVERTISERS FILES, and PUBLICATIONS. To coordinate with the sales and spot sales files elsewhere in the NBC Records, one group - the advertisers files - are arranged alphabetically by client and then by program. Miles also maintained a file of NBC Network Advertisers, 1940-1954, bulletins which contain data on radio programs and their sponsors; after 1948 the bulletins contain the same information for television programs. Prior to 1940 this information was presented in chart form together with comparative data for MBS and CBS. Also maintained is an incomplete file of traffic reports which indicate radio program acceptance by network affiliates.

Incorporated with Miles papers is some documentation, 1943-1949, pertaining to the tenure of F. Melville Green, his predecessor.

Madden, Edward D. (1906-). Papers, 1950-1953
Physical Description: 7 Boxes (7.0 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note

Papers of an executive vice-president, consisting of memoranda, reports, financial data, notes and related material. Madden's biography in Who's Who indicates that he joined NBC in 1950 after serving as executive vice-president and director of the American Newspaper Advertising Network. At NBC his title was vice-president in charge of TV sales and operations from 1950 to 1952.. From 1952 to 1953 he was staff vice-president in charge of public relations. From 1953 to 1956, when he left NBC, he was general manager of motion pictures for television.

The papers are divided into four categories: AGENCIES, SPONSORS, PROGRAMS, and SUBJECT FILES, and then arranged alphabetically. They best document the relationship between NBC and various sponsors of its programming, the sale of advertising, research on ratings, and the impact of television on the consumer. In addition, special files deal with NBC's public relations, the company's production facilities, and the FCC. Most notable are the research files documenting the early attempts of NBC to rate its effectiveness, the impact of television on consumer habits, sports, and the effect of violence on the viewing public. There are also detailed files on the sales force and the workings of this department and the political conventions of 1952. Other significant materials concern the relationship between sponsors and NBC, most notably Broadway Open House (sponsored by Anchor Hocking Glass), the Colgate Comedy Hour (sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive), Dragnet, Four Star Review, Hopalong Cassidy, (sponsored by General Foods), The Kate Smith Show, Kukla, Fran, and Ollie, and Your Show of Shows.

As an executive vice-president working directly under the president, Madden was a touchstone for a great variety of business. As a result the files cover a broad spectrum of NBC activities from summer programming to talent procurement. Among Madden's correspondents are David Sarnoff, Joseph V. McConnell, Sylvester L. Weaver Jr., William Brooks and Thomas B. McFadden.

Barry, Charles (1911-). Papers, 1952-1954
Physical Description: 4 boxes (2.6 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Papers of a vice-president in charge of program sales, who prior to September 1953 held that same title and overall responsibility with respect to the television program department; both responsibilities are well reflected in the papers. Arranged alphabetically as SUBJECT FILES, DEPARTMENTAL FILES, and PROGRAM FILES, the section contains data on the development of programming ideas for such shows as Colgate Comedy Hour, Glamour Girl, Hallmark Hall of Fame, Kate Smith, and Today and on the sale of programs to advertisers. Within the files are correspondence, reports, memos, program presentations, financial and ratings data, and a few scripts. There is some correspondence with such NBC executives as John Herbert, Thomas McAvity, and John F. Royal and such performers as Gertrude Berg, Eddie Cantor, Hume Cronyn, Ralph Edward, Arthur Murray, Sir Laurence Oliver, Ezio Pinza, and Dinah Shore. Of particular interest are the department's program monitoring reports, negotiations with playwright Robert Sherwood, and arrangements for coverage of the coronation of Elizabeth II. There is also a letter from John F. Kennedy (Box 368, Folder 26).

Chotzinoff, Samuel (1889-1964). Papers, 1941-1953
Physical Description: 3 boxes (1.0 cubic foot) 
Scope and Content Note

Papers of a general music director, consisting largely of correspondence, reports, memoranda, financial material, and minutes. Though Chotzinoff's responsibility was originally part of the radio network, coverage of this is only sketchily represented here except for material pertaining to NBC Symphony of the Air. Beginning in the late 1940s Chotzinoff assumed increasing responsibilities for televised symphonic music and during the 1950s his position was shifted to the program department of the Television Network.

The greatest amount of material on his television work refers to the production of NBC Television Opera Theatre. Also of interest is correspondence referring to his responsibility for RCA classical recordings and files of correspondence to and from Malcolm Sargent and Walter Toscanini (with regard to his father). Other prominent correspondents include Rudolf Bing, Duke Ellington, Kirsten Flagstad, Sol Hurok, Eric Leinsdorf, and Eugene Ormandy. Also in the papers are program board minutes, both for radio and television, and teaching aids for NBC University of the Air.

Fuller, Sam C. Papers, 1950-1956
Physical Description: 3 boxes (1.6 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Papers of a television national program director. The files have been divided into two alphabetically-arranged groups: SUBJECT FILES and PROGRAM FILES, with the bulk of the papers dating from 1954 and 1955. Though fragmentary, the files evidence Fuller's activities in all facets of programming. These duties included development of ideas and personalities for new programs; coordination of producers, directors, and talents, scheduling programs and commercials; and approval of budgets. The files consist primarily of memos and teletype messages routed to Fuller, though few are directly to or from him. Many of the memos, especially those in the program files, are routine and deal with option renewals, guest appearances, and budgets. There are, however, significant files for Colgate Comedy Hour, an “Honor Legion” pilot, and the Imogene Coca Show. Among the NBC executives that appear in the files are Thomas McAvity, Richard Pinkham, and Fred Wile.

Rayel, John Papers, 1952-1953
Physical Description: 1 box (1.0 cubic foot) 
Scope and Content Note: Papers of a manager of television network programs who was also supervisor of program procurement during the period herein documented. Both small in bulk and less useful than the papers of Michael Dann whom Rayel preceded as program manager (and from whose papers Rayel's were extracted), the collection consists of alphabetically-arranged SUBJECT FILES and PROGRAM FILES. The program files contain material arranged by title for accepted and rejected program proposals. Generally the files concern the creative aspect of television programming - the review of new ideas submitted by NBC staff and by outside producers such as Worthington Miner and the development of programs accepted for broadcast such as Your Show of Shows. Later in his career Rayel became executive producer of Producers' Showcase, some documentation for which may be found in the papers of Michael Dann.

Wolff, Nat. Papers, 1956
Physical Description: 2 boxes (1.4 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Papers of a director of network program planning. Although Wolff performed regular staff duties, his major responsibility was creative -- developing programs, personalities, and writers for new shows -- and directing a group of writers in Hollywood (Peter Barnum, Elliott Lewis, and Milt Josefsberg), Wolff was also responsible for improving communications between New York management and Hollywood production and seeing that funds were well spent for experimentation and development. Though incomplete, the files document most of these activities. They have been divided into two alphabetically-arranged groups: SUBJECT FILES and PROGRAM FILES. The first contains correspondence, both internal memos and outgoing letters; the second contains pilot scripts and program proposals, many with accompanying memos describing problems and suggestions. There are especially significant files on “The Autobiography of Myrtle Mooney,” The George Sanders Myster Theatre, and on Esther Williams. Among the NBC executives represented in Wolff's files are Frank Cleaver, Sam Fuller, Thomas McAvity, Richard Pinkham, Sylvester L. Weaver Jr., Mort Werner, and Fred Wile.

Physical Description: 20 boxes (12.2 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Sales includes: Matthew J. Culligan Papers; George H. Frey Papers; John K. Herbert Papers; Reynold B. Kraft Papers; Lewis W. Marcy Papers; Salesmen's Files; Walter D. Scott Papers.
Culligan, Matthew J. (1918-). Papers, 1955
Physical Description: 3 boxes (1.8 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Papers of a sales manager of the television network. As a subordinate of George H. Frey during 1955, Culligan's responsibilities generally reflected the creative aspect of sales and the development of new business. Like the papers of other television salespeople, Culligan's papers are divided into four alphabetical categories: SUBJECT FILES, DEPARTMENTAL FILES, PROGRAM FILES, and ADVERTISERS FILES. The subject files contain correspondence, memoranda, and reports pertaining to promotional campaigns such as Today-Home-Tonight, sales presentations to various prospective customers, and other topics. The departmental files contain information on the interpretive, creative, and regional subdivision of television sales such as children's program sales, sports program sales, sales development, and the central and western regions sales divisions, but less documentation pertaining to his superiors or to other departments in the NBC organization. An important exception is the material on the joint sales-program department meetings which may be found with the subject files. Some information on programs such as Home, NBC Matinee Theatre, and the network's coverage of the 1956 election are in this section. Although the majority of such material is located in the program files, additional information may be found in the advertisers files under the name of the client.

Frey, George H. (-1965). Papers, 1951-1956
Physical Description: 3 boxes (1.8 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Papers of a vice-president and director of television network sales. Although the papers span the period 1951-1956, material relating to 1952-1954 is limited and, in general, the papers tend to be more routine than those of John K. Herbert to whom Frey reported. The material divides into three alphabetically groups: DEPARTMENTAL FILES, SUBJECT FILES, AND ADVERTISERS FILES. Departmental files document Frey's dealings with members of the NBC sales staff such as Herbert, Matthew J. Culligan, and various salesman, and with the Chicago and Hollywood offices. Advertisers files, which form the bulk of the papers, consist of correspondence with various advertisers and agencies pertaining to the sponsorship of various network television programs. Within the subject files is a small quanity of correspondence and memoranda arranged by program title.

Herbert, John K. (1903-). Papers, 1953
Physical Description: 3 boxes (3.0 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note

Papers of a vice-president and member of the board of directors of NBC. During 1953, a year of great importance to the company, Herbert was vice-president in charge of the radio and television networks, vice-president in charge of television, and vice-president in charge of television network sales. Despite the high responsibility reflected by these titles, only his general supervision of television and radio sales, which continued throughout 1953, is reflected here. Responsibility as director are only slightly reflected in the RCA and David Sarnoff correspondence files.

The papers are arranged alphabetically into DEPARTMENTAL, PROGRAM, SUBJECT, and ADVERTISERS FILES. Unfortunately the T-Z folders are missing, which eliminates potentially important material from Sylvester L. Weaver Jr., Frank White, and Davidson Taylor. Nevertheless, one will find several kinds of detailed and informative sales and research reports and information on programming and the introduction of color broadcasting. Within the program and advertising files are correspondence, memos, and sales promotion brochures for such programs as The Bob Hope Show, Colgate Comedy Hour, Ding Dong School, Home, and The Kate Smith Show.

Physical Description: 3 boxes (2.4 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Merged files of the television network sales staff, 1944-1951. The alphabetically-arranged files include material which is chiefly arranged by client or advertising agency. When necessary within the clients files, the material is further subdivided by sales representative and by program. Included are folders pertaining to Reynold Kraft, Walter Scott, and other sales representatives and to such programs as The Aldrich Family; Americana; Break the Bank; Camel News Caravan; Kukla, Fran, and Ollie; and The Voice of Firestone. The individual folders contain correspondence, promotional material, representative's reports, and other material relating to network television advertising. Under the category “politicals” are extensive advertising on political advertising from 1944 to 1950. Because the sales department at one time embraced both television and radio, some of the files in this section contain incidental reference to radio sales.

Scott, Walter D. (1915-). Papers, 1954-1955
Physical Description: 3 boxes (1.0 cubic foot) 
Scope and Content Note: Papers of a longtime NBC sales representative and executive (1938-1974). Documented here is Scott's tenure as administrative manager of television sales. Late in 1955 he received a promotion to vice-president in charge of television sales, but the majority of the papers consist of routine correspondence principally relating to his follow-up of administrative sales matters for George H. Frey. The papers are small in volume and divide into SUBJECT FILES and ADVERTISERS FILES, both of which are arranged alphabetically. In 1959 Scott became executive vice-president, in 1965 was elected president of NBC, and in the following year elected chairman of the board.
