deeper into the illness, we might help him to recognize and

MEDIA REPORT Last week during the National Association of Broadcaster's
(NAB) Convention in Las Vegas, Garner Ted Armstrong met with people
representing approximately 91 stations in the United States. Our
agency, Ed Libov & Associates, felt that it provided excellent public
relations and exposure for the program.
Garner Ted conversed freely concerning the program, the church, college,
his books and most any other subject that happened to come up. Feed
back from our agency indicated that the station.representatives were
very impressed with Mr. Armstrong, both as a-personality and as a
commentator. This exposure will undoubtedly help our goal of covering
the top 50 markets in radio. Presently our agency has contracted
with fifteen 50,000-watt radio stations which cover over 60% of the
top 50 major markets in the United States.
Roland Sampson, our minister in Bermuda, sent in a copy of TV WEEK.
(This is the "TV Guide" of Bermuda, where our TV program has been
airing continuously since September, 1975.) It contained an opinion
by columnist Eric Hopwood. We think you will find his comments

One can sympathise with him, for it seems to me that if you do
not favour this type of programme, you get more than a fair
share.

"Oh, the
There one must disagree. Armstrong is an astonishingly
versatile person. He can Bible-punch with force on occasion,
but there are many times when his Bible is not in sight,
and when there is not one solitary reference to anything
that has to do with religion.
In fact, some of his presentations could easily be described
as "current affairs programmes, and he discusses anything
from sand to oil, sociology, politics, economics -- you name

Undoubtedly he has a big research staff, otherwise he could
not have so many facts and figures at his finger tips, and
