The manager of Radio Station WLS indicated that he would
probably later clear a still earlier time for "The WORLD TOMORROW"
program. Keep PRAYING, earnestly, believingly, that God will cause
this to be worked out.
We have just recently started on our FIRST CANADIAN STATION
---one of the most powerful---the super-power 50,000-watt CKLW of
Windsor, Ontario, across the river from Detroit. This is one of
the most powerful stations on the North American continent. It is
800 on the dial, and we are on at 6:PM Sundays only at the present.
After our personal call there, however, the manager indicated they
may clear time for us week nights also within the next two or three
months.
At Wheeling, W. Va., where "The WORLD TOMORROW" is the number
one rated program on the great 50,000-watt station WWVA, we were
most cordially received. We have been on this station every night
except Saturday---6 times a week. Our Sunday night time was too
late---11:15 PM. They were unable, at this time, to clear an
earlier Sunday night time, but they did open up for us an
additional Sunday morning time---10:30 Sunday mornings, still
retaining the six night programs---now making it SEVEN times a week
on WWVA. Scores of listeners to this station from Ohio thru West
Virginia, Pennsylvania, and up into New England have been converted
and were baptized by our men who toured that section this summer.
In New York an entering wedge was made to put the program on
one of the other four major New York stations at an earlier hour
every night some time later, but we are still unable to obtain an
earlier time on WABC.
However, in New York we called on our over-seas advertising
agency, and because surveys have shown "The WORLD TOMORROW" to be
the MOST LISTENED-TO PROGRAM in the British Commonwealth of South
Africa, our station there, Radio Lourenco Marques, has now offered
us one additional half hour every week. So now we are reaching
South Africa TWICE a week, instead of once. Also, because we
receive the heaviest mail of any program on the small-city network
we have been using in Australia, the large national BIG-CITY Net-
work of major stations in Australia is now offering us time on
their stations! I hope to announce in my next letter that we are
on these stations!
My son, Garner Ted Armstrong, whom you hear about twice a
week on the air, toured South America this summer with Mr. Benjamin
Rea, professor of Spanish Language and Geopolitics at Ambassador
College, visiting radio stations, and paving the way for opening
our big crusade to reach South America in the SPANISH LANGUAGE.
Mr. Rea met me in New York, and, at our overseas advertising agency
offices, plans were laid definitely for the beginning of the
Spanish Language campaign in South America, beginning the first of
January, next year! That is the ONLY continent not yet being
reached---altho, of course, there are many NATIONS not yet reached.
But GOD'S PROGRAM IS GOING FORTH TO MORE AND MORE NATIONS ALL THE
TIME, AND WITH CONSTANTLY INCREASING POWER!
