STATIONS!
I can't do that now. The income as of now won't allow it.
But we MUST have a constant increase in income for the Work so more
and more TV stations can be releasing this POWERFUL television
program!
I know you all will want to SEE my son Garner Ted
Armstrong ON TELEVISION. He is MUCH more effective on TV than on
radio. Let me tell you of a few incidents with Los Angeles TV
stations.
Officials of one station asked about the program. Hearing
that the speaker (Garner Ted) had his voice continuously on
throughout the program, they said, "No one would listen to that."
We brought them out to our very modern superbly-equipped TV
studios. They were amazed.
'Why!" they exclaimed, you have a larger and better and
more modernly equipped studio than most TV stations! Then we had
them sit down to view and HEAR one of The WORLD TOMORROW TV
programs. They were ASTONISHED!
"Oh well, now, THAT'S DIFFERENT! YOU'VE got a top
television PERSONALITY there!" was the exclamation. Then they
began making offers to get Garner Ted ON THEIR STAFF as a news
commentator!
"We've just GOT to have that Garner Ted Armstrong on our
staff," one of their officials said to me. But of course they
can't have him. GOD has him speaking for GOD'S WORK!
Then, later, one of the strongest Los Angeles stations
lost the services of their star news reporter. He was the most
listened-to news reporter in the Los Angeles area. And THE HIGHEST
PAID. But another station offered him a salary of $300,000 per
year -- that's a million dollars in a little over three years! The
powerful station that lost him immediately came for Garner Ted.
They asked if they could not possibly induce him to take over that
news program -- as a big-name news announcer and commentator,
analyzing as well as reporting the news.
That is what leading television station officials think of
Garner Ted Armstrong as a television speaker! Either my son or I
could make MANY, MANY TIMES more money, if we would sell our
services to the commercial world. But there isn't enough money in
all the world to tempt either of us. Our lives are dedicated to
the living HEAD of God's Work, Jesus Christ! I only mention this
because I hope, during the next two years, to be able to put our
top-rated television program of The WORLD TOMORROW on so many TV
stations all over the U.S. and Canada -- and perhaps other
countries - that all or nearly all of you Co-Workers will be able
to see it along with the MILLIONS of others which YOUR tithes and
offerings are helping us to reach! You will THRILL to it! And so
will people all over in the area where you live! It is by far the
most effective program ever to carry God's true Message to the
world!
