In the past couple of months, a number of new stations have accepted "The WORLD TOMORROW" TV program, and there have been several upgrades on existing stations. We are continuing to add second stations in major markets as budget permits.

International

November-December is our time for renewal of European radio and TV contracts. This week we have succeeded in renewing Radio-Television Luxembourg (RTL) contracts at little or no increase for 1985. RTL-TV has also offered a second time slot for the French subtitled program on Thursday evenings, which we will accept.

The one-quarter hour French language radio program "Le Monde A Venir" with Mr. Apartian will continue on Radio Sud, broadcasting from Andorra and Toulouse. Shortly, Radio Sud will add a transmitter in Bordeaux, giving potentially one-third more audience. This contract has also been renewed for 1985.

To the east, in Monte Carlo, TMC-TV has offered to continue our 11:30 p.m. slot with additional coverage into Marseille, France's major southern city, beginning immediately. This is an exciting new development for the French area of God's Church.

Renewal of the Italian subtitled version of "The WORLD TOMORROW" has also just taken place with no increase in cost for 1985. Originating in Milan on the Italian service of Tele Monte Carlo, this outlet has been steadily increasing in response during 1984.

Finally, there seems to be an opportunity developing in the fast-changing world of cable and satellite TV in the German language area. While it is too soon to be dogmatic about the new avail, I would appreciate your prayers that the door would indeed open, if this is the time.
