NEW C O A S T - T O - C O A S T N E T W O R K OPENS TO US!
Hollywood, Calif.--again I am writing from Hollywood.
I am on the way to San Antonio, Texas, and Des Moines, Iowa, for a
series of broadcasts--broadcasting daily from Des Moines for three
weeks. I have stopped off here just long enough to make contacts
and tentative arrangements for sending "The WORLD TOMORROW" program
out over the newly formed A.B.C. net-work, Coast to Coast!
I have written you before, thru the BULLETIN, about the
pressure being brought by powerful economic-religious interests in
New York, thru the existing broadcast chains, to force all true
gospel preaching off the air. N.B.C., the BLUE net-work, and
C.B.S., refuse to sell any of their time for religious programs.
And finally MUTUAL sent notices of cancellation, effective this
coming September, to all those broadcasting religious programs
over their facilities. It now appears probable MUTUAL will
continue to carry one or two of their present programs, but only
prior to 10:A.M. Sunday mornings. Further than that, religious
preaching of any kind is barred from all the big chains.
I have ben warning our Co-Workers that prophecy reveals
plainly we are nearing the time when there shall be a FAMINE of
hearing the Word of the Lord preached! The powers that be in this
world will forbid it. Our days for proclaiming the last WARNING
MESSAGE for this hour are numbered! But, as I have pointed out,
Satan will be utterly unable to shut off the privilege of
proclaiming God's Message until GOD'S PURPOSE IS FULFILLED, and
this last warning Message has gone!
And so just when it appeared Satan had succeeded in
shutting off all possibility of getting the Message with the LOUD
SHOUT of radio into homes in every nook and corner of this
continent, a NEW AVENUE is opened to us!
A new Coast-to-Coast net work is now forming--the
Associated Broadcasting Corporation--to be known as the A.B.C.
So far as large bulk contracts are concerned, or three hundred
stations, including the small-power station in the smaller cities
and towns all over the country, this new net-work will be about
three times as expensive as MUTUAL has been, at least until the
new net-work is better established, since MUTUAL offered bulk
discounts up to 60 and 75%--and the new net-work offers no net-
work discount whatever. However, for our purpose, the cost will
