Television Information Office
Television organization created by the National Association of Broadcasters in October 1959
The Television Information Office (TIO) was created by the National Association of Broadcasters in the United States in October 1959. The creation of the TIO was part of a public relations campaign to undo some of the damage done by the quiz show controversies of the 1950s and other illicit business practices in television like plugola. The TIO headquarters were initially set up in New York. TIO received sponsorships from networks and television stations who wanted to help present a positive image of television to the public.
