Dear Co-Worker with Christ:
Now I am able to make ONE of the important DOUBLE-EVENT
announcements I had hoped to tell you about in my letter last
month. But the other--the most sensational announcement since God
started this Work in 1934, must wait at least a few more days.
But here is ONE part of that Double-Event announcement.
And THIS is one of the MOST IMPORTANT leaps ahead in God's Work so
far!
The WORLD TOMORROW is starting, within the month, ON
TELEVISION!
We did go on television back in July, 1955. At that time,
the T.V. programs had to be put on film. The programs had to be
"shot" in a Hollywood Motion Picture studio, and I suddenly found
I was "in the movies." There were 17 men in front of me in the
studio--cameramen, electricians, lighting experts, helpers, and to
the side or behind me, the script girl. Many were smoking
cigarettes, many looking a little cynical or sarcastic. And that
was the audience I had to "preach" to! I assure you it was not
easy! And the production of a program was tremendously expensive.
Today, however, television has gone from motion-picture
film to TAPE. It is much, much simpler.
For some months now, we have had a closed-circuit T.V.
camera of our own in the radio studio here at Pasadena. My son,
Garner Ted Armstrong, has been getting accustomed to the brighter
lights, and speaking into a camera, as well as microphone only.
However, the equipment we have been using is not of broadcast
standard, and has been used only for experimental purposes. As one
of the cigarette "commercials" on T.V. says, it "takes some getting
used to."
But now we feel that my son is READY! In just a week or
ten days our first broadcast-quality T.V. equipment will be
delivered. Since it is tape, we can record it, using two cameras,
in our own present radio studio. This first equipment is black-
and-white only. This time, only our own technicians will be in our
studio.
