"To me it's like losing an old friend. You might
also be interested in knowing that the 'World Tomorrow' on
WJAC had a No. one pulse rating equal to or better than
that of the top rock and roll station in Johnstown.
Postmarks indicate we've received comments (protests)
from 36 cities and towns outside the Johnstown area. I
hope you can get to read more of the mail we've passed on
to the agency.
"We all hope you will reconsider and return to WJAC.
Many thanks for your past kindness and your wonderful
program."
Sincerely,
/s/ Edward J. Klym
Vice President
I have quoted his letter In full. I want you, whose
tithes and offerings make this most powerful Broadcast on earth
possible to know Just HOW TREMENDOUS is its impact on the world.
Co-Workers, I know you cannot realize HOW DIFFICULT it has been,
through the years, to get radio stations to accept our program,
clear time for it, and take our money. They want the money -- but
THEY DON'T WANT religious programs. We have to convince them,
generally, of the EDUCATIONAL nature and value of The WORLD
TOMORROW -- of its tremendous LISTENER appeal -- of the fact it is
DIFFERENT from religious programs. In some cases, it has taken us
YEARS to convince a station manager he ought to have The WORLD
TOMORROW on his station. But, once we are on, and they begin to
REALIZE what our program is like, and get the feel of the
tremendous LISTENER INTEREST -- its top listener rating -- they
feel just like Mr. Klym does now.
Co-Workers and Brethren in Christ, it's a SHAME, and a
TRAGEDY to have to cancel out good stations like WJAC, once we are
established on them -- and deprive MANY THOUSANDS of people of
hearing Christ's Gospel! Notice Mr. Klym states that the rating
agency shows we were the NUMBER ONE rated program in number of
people listening. We are number ONE on most stations. No program
on the air compared to it!
Here are just a few of the letters from WJAC listeners,
written to the station:
"I was very sorry to hear that The World Tomorrow
program is to be taken off the air. At a time when there
is so much 'garbage' on the air it was good to hear a
worthwhile program that made people stop and think about
present world conditions.
"I hope you reconsider, as I will really miss the
program and I'm sure many others will too."
"Please do not discontinue The World Tomorrow
program. I am sure there are many like myself who find it
