PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, SEPTEMBER 16, 1986
The Feast of Tabernacles is fast approaching, and most of you are now
thinking and planning for it. In your plans please be sure to include
proper preparation for the Holy Day offerings. They have an essential
part in the financial needs of God's Work.
--Leroy Neff, Treasurer
MEDIA PURCHASING
This month "The World Tomorrow" program will move to new time slots on two
of our biggest response stations, WOR out of New York and WGN out of
Chicago.
On September 14, the program will move to 9: 30 a.m. (EST) from the old
time of 11: 30 a.m.
In the New York area, this is an upgrade, as more
people there are watching television at
9:30
a.m. than at
11:30
a.m.
Because WOR is cabled to approximately 19 million homes around the United
States, it is difficult to predict what effect the time change will have
on response to the program, but we expect it to be positive since the
majority of subscribers to WOR are in the Central and Eastern time zones.
The program will continue to air at its usual Sunday evening time of
11:00
p.rn. (EST) on WOR.
On September 27, WGN ·will once again air the program beginning at 7: 30
a.m. (CST). The program had been temporarily moved to
10:00
a.m. since
last October. WGN is cabled into approximately 21 million homes across
the United States.
