This year the MOST EFFECTIVE means of all opened to us!
We are now on DAILY TV in many parts of the United States,
besides weekly TV throughout Canada. DAILY television is by far
the MOST EFFECTIVE means of getting the Gospel to the world that
has ever existed. True, we have had to take a morning time in
most cases, but gradually we will be moved into PRIME EVENING TIME.
We are on in PRIME TIME on the number ONE independent (non network)
station in the United States, WOR, New York, Sunday nights. We
have a good morning time on that station Monday through Friday.
That station is very pleased with the program, and I anticipate
the opportunity of being moved to prime time.
Just last week our first "BREAKTHROUGH" came on gaining a
fine evening time, 7:00 to 7:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and
6:30 to 7:00 p.m., Saturday evening, on an NBC station in Elmira,
N.Y. We are confident this will show high ratings, and this will
help us gain better time on other stations. The DAILY TV programs
are already beginning to bring a very good response -- FAR BETTER
than comparable radio time.
The "PERSONAL APPEARANCE" programs of Garner Ted Armstrong
are off to a fine start, producing excellent results. Following
the Calgary, Canada, and St. Petersburg, Florida appearances, here
is the schedule, just completed: December 8, 9, 10, San Antonio;
January 5, 6, 7, Shreveport; January 9, 10, Tyler, Texas; February
9, 10, 11, Richmond, Virginia or Washington, D.C.; February 16, 17,
18, New Orleans; March 23, 24, 25. Tucson: March 30, 31, and April
1, Salt Lake City; May 4, 5, 6 Dallas; May 11 12, 13, Houston;
July 6, 7, 8, San Diego; August in Canada -- Winnipeg, Toronto, or
Vancouver. Other cities, dates not yet confirmed, include Seattle,
Toledo, Denver, Charlotte, Buffalo, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Edmonton,
Alberta. As these PERSONAL APPEARANCE programs continue, they will
prove cumulatively effective. Those of you in or near the cities
listed will surely want to attend.
One of the most important GIANT DOORS to open to us this
year has been the plans for reaching the Arab nations. The man
with whom I signed the big radio contract for broadcasting The
WORLD TOMORROW on JERUSALEM RADIO, just prior to the six-day war
(when the Israelis took over the radio station), has now joined
our staff. He is Mr. Adli Muhtadi, from January 1, 1962 to March
of this year, the Director of the Commercial Department of Radio
and Television in the Ministry of Information of the Hashemite
Kingdom of Jordan.
Mr. Muhtadi recently visited both our Headquarters on the
Pasadena campus, and the Texas campus. With him was a man who also
is very close to many of the leaders of the Arab world. He is Mr.
Nasser Nashashibi, former Press Secretary of the late President
Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt. He was Chief Adviser to King
Abdullah, grandfather of King Hussein; has been editor of two Cairo
newspapers; has had a diplomatic career as Roving Ambassador for
the Arab League. At present he is United Nations Correspondent in
Geneva, and Adviser for Arab Affairs to the Paris edition of the
international New York Herald Tribune.
