3. Billboard History
ā¢ Billboard was founded in Cincinnati on November 1, 1894, by William h. Donaldson and James
Hennegan. Originally titled Billboard Advertising it was a trade paper for the bill posting industry, hence
the magazine's name. Within a few years of its founding, it began to carry news of outdoor amusements, a
major consumer of billboard space. Eventually Billboard became the paper of record
for circuses, carnivals, amusement parks, fairs, vaudeville, minstrels, whale shows and other live
entertainment. The magazine began coverage of motion pictures in 1909 and of radio in the 1920s.
ā¢ With the development of the jukebox industry during the 1930s, The Billboard began publishing music
charts. Originally, there were only three genre-specific charts: Pop, Rhythm & Blues, and Country &
Western. In the 1950s it introduced a section covering the television industry, including ratings charts for
programs. It continued to carry news of fairs, carnivals, theme parks and other outdoor entertainments
until 1961 when these departments were spun off into a new weekly magazine called Amusement
Business. By this time the television coverage had also been moved to another publication.
ā¢ At the start of 1961, The Billboard was renamed Billboard Music Week. The publication was now devoted
almost entirely to the music industry, with some coverage of coin-operated vending and entertainment
machines on its jukebox pages. The title was changed to simply Billboard at the start of 1963. In 2005, the
magazine and its web sites were repositioned to provide coverage of all forms of digital and mobile
entertainment.
ā¢ Amusement Business prospered for a few decades, but was struggling by the beginning of the 21st
Century. Shortly after then its frequency of publication was reduced to monthly, and it finally ceased
publication following its May 2006 issue.
