HISTORY of AFRTS
"Armed Forces Radio and Television Broadcast Guide (1961)"

"This edition of the Armed Forces Radio and Television Broadcasting Guide is published for the information and guidance of personnel operating military radion and television stations.

In addition to being a practical field reference book covering basic principles of radio and television broadcasting, it has been designed with a view toward instilling in both the seasoned broadcaster and the recruit a realization and an understanding of the responsibility and mission of an Armed Forces Radio or Television Station.

Manning an Armed Forces Radio or Television Station is more than a job. It is a daily trust, a dedication to broadcasting standards, a new dimension and scope to the assigned mission."
