 | | In 1961, Billy Graham and his wife, Ruth, began to be concerned by the lack of a radio station in their home area, western North Carolina, to provide Christian programming. |
 | | After there were discussions between Graham and BGEA board members L. Nelson Bell, George Wilson and others, the Association decided to build a station in Black Mountain, North Carolina, and to form a subsidiary corporation of the BGEA to own and operate it. |
 | | Graham answered questions about the crises in the Middle East, evangelicals and social concern, the U.S. Congress on Evangelism, young people's response to the Gospel, contemporary music, his T.V. appearances, the East Tennessee Crusade, problems of the established church, the ecumenical movement, drugs, and Christ's second coming. |
