Television/Radio Age magazine was a US television industry trade magazine published by Television Editorial Corporation from 1953 to 1989. Originally titled Television Age, the magazine began as a monthly until 1956 and biweekly thereafter. Television/Radio Age was known for its dry but detailed coverage of the broadcasting industry and pioneering efforts to connect Madison Avenue (the advertisers) with program makers. It was published alongside sister publications Television/Radio Age International, Cable Age and the Twelve City Guide - all of which folded in 1989 following financial difficulties.[1][2]
