A number of super-power stations, and strong sectional
networks are open to us. However, most of the super-power stations
with nationally-clear channels (stations which can be heard over
North America) are now closed to religious broadcasts. On this
trip I contacted personally the sales managers of nearly all these
stations, except a few I had contacted before. Of these great
stations, only five are open for religious programs, and possibly
sixth, WHAS, Louisville, Kentucky, may be opened to us because of
the different type of program. All the others now are definitely
CLOSED to the broadcasting of the true Gospel.
A station I am very anxious to use as soon as possible,
because of its low cost at late night-time, is WRVA, Richmond Va.
It is 50,000 watts, national-cleared channel after sunset.
Philadelphia's great super-power exclusive-channel station WCAU,
is open to us for late night-time, at a very reasonable cost. In
New York City 50,000-watt clear-channel station WHN will give us
a Sunday morning time, but when we are ready for a New York station
we probably shall use a smaller station, WOV, which offered me a
desirable night-time, at one-fourth the cost.
We are fortunate, indeed, that even that number of the
nation's most powerful exclusive-channel stations are still open
to us. In addition, there are a number of other 50,000-watt
stations (not on exclusive channels), open to us which will give
us large regional audiences. Among these are KWKH, Shreveport,
La., WCKY, Cincinnati, and WLAC, Nashville, Tennessee.
Avenues are open to us, still, by which we may send God's
last vital Message out over this country with great power and
intensity into every PART of the country. WE MUST TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF THIS OPPORTUNITY BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! Because, on the other
hand, the TREND with radio Stations, especially the larger ones,
is to shut all Gospel preaching OFF THE AIR! On this trip I
visited many, many radio stations--I went personally to MOST of
this station's super-power 50,000-watt EXCLUSIVE-channel stations.
And in station after station the door was unalterably CLOSED! The
fact I preached the Gospel--preach out of the BIBLE--in "The WORLD
TOMORROW" program is an absolute BAR on most of the nation's great
super-power stations.
I spent two days in New York City, thoroughly taking up
the matter of this policy with the executives there at Radio City,
Rockefeller Center, who CONTROL the policies in this regard for
these super-power stations owned and managed by NBC. These men
were courteous, willing to talk with me and to hear my side of the
story, and my arguments as to why they should NOT throw God's Truth
off the air "IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST," as they claim to be doing--
but it made no difference. I could see their hands were tied from
somewhere higher up--where, I could not learn. I have my ideas,
and it points to one of the world's vast financial interests.
There are powerful interests at work to put all true
gospel preaching OFF THE AIR--that much I know. Our great
opportunity lies in the fact it will take them yet some little time
before they can eliminate Gospel broadcasts that tell the TRUTH
from the independent stations, and all the smaller stations, which
