Introducing The RCA TK30: October 1946, “Broadcast News”

This is the entire edition of RCA’s “Broadcast News” magazine that features this brand new camera in a very detailed, multi page story. The cover page photo is in relation to the first ever use of this camera at the Joe Lewis – Billy Conn boxing match held at Yankee Stadium. Even after taking in the TK30 story, it’s fun to browse the rest of this issue for an interesting look back at audio boards, transmitters and more technology that, at the time, was “state of the art”.

    The RCA TK-30 was the first civilian application of the Image Orthicon tubes that were originally developed for military use in 1942.
    Was the first device the 5820 tube?
    Best regards!!!

    Love the back editions of this magazine. I had the one featuring a look inside WFLA-TV in Tampa from 1956, loaned it to someone in college and never saw it again. Thanks to americanradiohistory.com I can enjoy the magazine again.
