Page "Herbert W. Armstrong" Paragraph 9

In October 1933, a small 100-watt radio station in Eugene, Oregon, KORE, offered free time to Armstrong for a morning devotional, a 15-minute time slot shared by other local ministers.

After positive responses from listeners, the station owner let Armstrong start a new program of his own.

On the first Sunday in 1934, the Radio Church of God first aired.

These broadcasts eventually became known as The World Tomorrow of the future Worldwide Church of God.

Shortly thereafter, in February, 1934, Armstrong began the publication of The Plain Truth, which started out as a church bulletin.

The broadcast expanded to other cities, and in 1942 began to be broadcast nationwide from WHO of Des Moines Iowa, a 50, 000-watt superstation.
