received from NEW listeners on the ABC Radio Network stations for
the past 13 months, to see which areas had the biggest response of
new listeners we must not neglect, as we go off radio.
We tried to plan to give first choice to those TV stations
MOST listened to, covering the areas where, first of all MOST
Co-Workers live; but, secondly, where most total LISTENERS live.
Without going into further detail, I think you can see that
we have gone to very great pains to analyze this TV field
intelligently and scientifically, to start out on the most
important stations possible in the most important areas.
In St. Louis we wanted to go on TV, but were unable to find
any time available at present, so we are staying on the radio
station KXOK.
Remember, however, that many of these stations have offered
us the time I am listing for you ON CONDITION they approve the
program AFTER they actually view and audition one or two programs.
We don't think any station will reject the program.
I am now hard at work preparing the sermons for the next
nine---or 12---TV programs. Our producers and directors now want
to work me harder than ever, and keep me going FOUR DAYS STRAIGHT
---three programs per day. That's seemingly more than human
strength can stretch to. But if I can do it, I can save two or
three thousand dollars. So I'm going to try, and do my best. WILL
YOU REALLY PRAY FOR ME THIS TIME? I'll surely NEED it! PLEASE ask
God to give me strength, good health, and to keep my mind keen and
alert.
