PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, NOVEMBER 30, 1984
International
November-December is our time for renewal of European radio and TV con
tracts. This week we have succeeded in renewing Radio-Television Luxem
bourg {RTL) contracts at little or no increase for 1985. RTL-TV has also
offered a second time slot for the French subtitled program on Thursday
evenings, whidh we will accept.
The one-quarter hour French language radio program "Le Mende A Venir" with
Mr. Apartian will continue on Radio Sud, broadcasting from Andorra and
Toulouse. Shortly, Radio Sud will add a transmitter in Bordeaux, giving
potentially one-third more audience. This contract has also been renewed
for 1985.
To the east, in Monte Carlo, TMC-TV has offered to continue our 11:30 p.m.
slot with additional coverage into Marseille, France's major southern city,
beginning immediately. This is an exciting new development for the French
area of God's Church.
Renewal of the Italian subtitled version of "The WORLD TOMORROW" has also
just taken place with no increase in cost for 1985. Originating in Milan on
the Italian service of Tele Monte Carlo, this outlet has been steadily in
creasing in response during 1984.
Finally, there seems to be an opportunity developing in the fast-changing
world of cable and satellite TV in the Ge�man language area. While it is
too soon to be dogmatic about the new avail, I would appreciate your prayers
that the door would indeed open, if this is the time.
