Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
The special emergency letter I had to write you from our
English campus August 8th, started the ball rolling sufficiently
that, so far, I have not been forced to cancel more radio stations,
as it then appeared I might.
Now I want to bring you up-to-date on the STATE OF GOD'S
WORK. I had previously, as I told you, found it necessary to
cancel a few radio stations, and I have cut in half the powerful
worldwide advertising that caused a 65% increase in the power and
scope of the Gospel Work the past year.
So now first, I want you to know the REACTION, after
taking The WORLD TOMORROW broadcast off the few stations we already
did. One station we cancelled was WJAC, Johnstown, Pennsylvania.
Here is the almost heart-rending letter I received from the Vice
President of that station, Mr. Edward J. Klym:
"Dear Mr. Armstrong:
"WJAC Radio has broadcast your 'World Tomorrow'
program for five years. We have truly enjoyed our
relationship with you and we have enjoyed the radio
program.
"Suddenly your program has been cancelled on WJAC
by M.B. Scott Agency, effective August 6, 1969. We can't
tell you what a disappointment this is to all of us at
WJAC and to our listeners as well.
"Announcement of this program change has brought in
hundreds of cards and letters from listeners protesting
the cancellation. Frankly, we've never seen the likes of
it before. The comments we've received are a real tribute
to the fine quality of the program.
"We have sent a large number of the letters to M .B.
Scott. We're also including a few for you to read so that
you can see how truly disappointed our listeners are to
see the program leave the air.
