MEDIA UPDATE Garner Ted Armstrong requested that information from
a recent progress report from Dick Janik of Ed Libov Associates of
California, Inc. be relayed in the Pastor's Report.
our new media advertising agency has been able to line up the number
one station in a new market for Mr. Armstrong--Tulsa, Oklahoma. The
program will air on tne number one station in the market, KTUL--an
ABC affil:iate--Sundays 11:30-12 noon, starting February 5. This
will include 12 promo spots weekly and a free TV Guide ad.
In Charlotte, N.C. we are going to be adding WSOC-TV, an NBC affili
ate until WRET-TV can be cancelled. The comparison is as follows:
WRET is a UHF station and the program is presently on Sunday at
10 a.m. with a 1 rating. GTA's lead in is Vision Outreach, and lead
out is Abbott & Costello. WSOC-TV's time slot is Sunday at 12:30 p.m.
with a 4 rating. The lead in is Meet the Press, and the lead out is
the Sunday movie. This package will include a free TV Guide ad and
5 free promotional announcements weekly.
The upcoming NATPE (National Association of Television Program
Executives} Convention, at which GTA will appear, will be attended
by every General Manager and Program Director of all TV stations
in the U.S. and Canada. Also present will be the Presidents of the
three networks, and local dignitaries such as Governor Brown. An
article on GTA will appear in the NATPE magazine, vocal recognition
will be given by the host or hostess (either Carol Burnett� Dick
Clark, etc.). In essence, Ed Libov and Associates is going to let
every TV station in the U.S.A. and Canada know who GTA is, and what
he stands for!
REAL JESUS BOOK REVIEWS Following are a couple of reviews of Mr. Ted
Armstrong's new book, which we thought you'd be interested in reading.
THE REAL JESUS by Garner Ted Armstrong. Sheed Andrews and McMeel.
280 pp. $8.95. The Armstrongs, by their radio programs, have engen
dered much comment and even enough opposition to be counted contro
versial, but this book is Biblical enough and so able in its style
of writing that it is difficult to find fault with it. The pub
lishers in their promotion of it have tried to cast it in a more
sensational light than the text justifies, as when they say
.
that
Jesus "was a taxpaying operator of a family business . . . owned at
least one nice home and probably two." Such allusions in the book
itself, are to the "probability" of such matters, based on a Scripture
passage which says Jesus was "at. home" in Capernaum. Armstrong's
method, when he tries to present unusual aspects of the Jesus he
envisions, rests largely on deductions from the Biblical text, in
light of background infornation o� the Holy Land of that day. The
imaginative process is called int:.o ?lay in sorne p:-esu.ned conversations,
but the Bible student will find that tne book lives up to the author's
