Dramatic World to Come Television Expansion Continues

By David C. Pack

As God continues to enormously bless His Church, The World to Come™ is expanding its television reach by 118 stations in February, March and April, in both the United States and other parts of the world.

Some background. Many may be aware that The Living Church of God (LCG) is suddenly losing most if not soon all of its national Canadian TV coverage. However, LCG has also abruptly canceled its powerful Sunday nationwide ION slot in the wake of public announcements about financial difficulties.

(1) Therefore, on March 10, The World to Come now moves from its Wednesday morning slot to LCG’s Sunday 6:30 a.m. (ET/PT) slot. This makes our program available to all 88.6 million households covered by the ION Television network and satellites nationwide!

(2) Furthering this major U.S. media expansion, The World to Come will also begin airing (in high definition) across the country on The CW Plus network starting Sunday, March 17 at 6:30 a.m. (ET/PT). The CW Plus affiliates reach 16.2 million households in 110 smaller designated television markets (out of 210).

(3) Also in the U.S., the expansion includes (1) Charlotte, NC, on WAXN TV64 at 7:30 a.m. on Sunday, March 3 (also high definition). Other new independent stations include (2) Cincinnati, OH, on WSTR MyTV beginning Wednesday, March 6 at 6:00 a.m., (3) Harrisburg, PA, on WLYH CW beginning Wednesday, March 13 at 6:00 a.m. and (4) St. Louis, MO, on WRBU MyTV beginning Sunday, March 17 at 6:00 a.m. These cities reach another nearly four million households. (The World to Come now reaches almost exactly six of every seven U.S. television households.)

More independent stations (and additional nations) will be added on a monthly basis—with the goal of reaching all 210 U.S. Designated Market Areas with television by the end of 2013.

(4) Internationally, The World to Come begins nationwide in New Zealand on TVNZ TV ONE (the nation’s top network—reaching 95% of television households) on Sunday, April 7 at 5:00 a.m. It immediately follows BBC News.

(5) Just last Sunday, Grace TV in Canada also began broadcasting The World to Come. This channel reaches over 70% of Canadian households with a television. Viewers may watch on Shaw Direct Satellite from coast to coast. Other sources available include Shaw Cable, Rogers, Source Cable, Telus TV and several others. The broadcast may be also watched around the world via live Internet streaming on computers, smartphones and tablet devices at gracetelevision.net. A full listing of providers and channels may also be found at this same web address.

These networks join existing international outlets including The Word Network (558.4 million estimated households worldwide), Sky UK (67% of the UK subscription TV market), Sky Italia (24% of Italian homes) and Tata Sky (over 10 million subscribers in India).

While the big splinters (including LCG) are pulling back Internet advertising spending, we are pleased to announce that our already large Internet advertising budget has been increased by 57% in 2013. This week alone, we had just under 300,000 downloads. But, since we are the largest biblically based publishing operation in the world, much of this tremendous traffic is non-paid organic.

When God’s Church is pleasing Him in all points, and is totally unified, He blesses it. Many thousands have read my annual {@561716}“Restored Church of God Fruit” letter{/@}. Consider doing this if you have not already.

Therefore, return here regularly for more inspiring announcements of BIG media growth in ever more powerful ways as God continues opening doors within the great “OPEN DOOR” of Revelation 3:8 He has put before His one Work. Imagine the scope and size of God’s Work when it completes in 11 weeks its much-needed, multi-million-dollar {@560617}Headquarters building{/@} being constructed without bank financing.

Time is short. BELIEVE US WHEN WE SAY WE ARE JUST BEGINNING!
