Interesting to note:The previous night (New Years Eve) Rex Humbard Televised his New Year's Eve Service-Live-From 1AM-7:45AM-Six hours and 45 minutes-on WJW-TV Channel 8..Very unusual for that period..for any station to be on all night-for any reason..
 
Tim L, I don't think it would have been all that unusual for Humbard to be on the air all night. Not when you consider that the televangelist was paying for every minute of that airtime. I can only begin to imagine the overtime charges that WJW slapped on Humbard's account bill.

I suspect it was an experiment that didn't work--the "Watch Night" services are still popular to this day among (black and white) churches on New Year's Eve down here in the South, but in Ohio ... I rather doubt it. Most people up at that hour likely had no interest in watching a preacher giving sermons on television.
 
Mike:
I have no doubt Humbard paid for every minute of his airtime..He had a fairly long history of daily and later Sunday-Only telecasts on WJW..I was just saying that for that era, being on the air all night was very unusual for any TV station..

Another Note:These days, some churches have "Preaching and Singing" with a meal and testimonies, etc In the Midwest as well as the South..These can start as early as 7PM and go till Midnight..Or sometimes let out earlier..
