The World Tomorrow (radio and television)

The World Tomorrow is a radio and television half-hour program which had been sponsored by the Radio Church of God (later renamed Worldwide Church of God (WCG), under the direction of Herbert W. Armstrong). It originally ran from 1934 to 1994. A 15-minute version of the radio program (but under varied translations of the The World Tomorrow name) was broadcast by various speakers in the French, German, Italian, Russian and Spanish languages. The World Tomorrow television program is in current production after it resumed in 2004 and airs in numerous major US television markets.

Herbert W. Armstrong secured a temporary 15-minute slot on KORE, Eugene, Oregon, on October 9, 1933. This became a permanent half-hour slot on January 7, 1934. Armstrong founded the Radio Church of God with the first broadcast in 1934, to serve as the home church for his pioneering broadcast-based ministry. Armstrong's radio program "eventually reached millions with its message of the imminent end of the world to be followed by the second coming of Christ."

Following the 1939 World's Fair in New York City the broadcast was renamed The World Tomorrow following the theme of the fair, "the World of Tomorrow". In 1968 the Radio Church of God changed its name to the Worldwide Church of God.

There are three eras of The World Tomorrow on television.

The first era featured Herbert W. Armstrong speaking from a Hollywood sound stage in the 1950s before the advent of videotape when all syndicated programs had to be recorded on film. The original series was shown on a portion of the ABC Television Network for half an hour, once a week in black and white.
