4-17-23 Church Service (denominations not listed)"


The Church Service on 17 was Canton Baptist Temple with Dr. Harold Henniger, while the one on 23 was Akron Baptist Temple with Dr. Charles Billington..Dr. Henniger came out of Akron Baptist Temple to pastor Canton Baptist for over 40 years..Both Churches have had a long history of TV and radio broadcasting

10 Billy James Hargis & His All-American Kids

Wasn't he the guy who made a name for himself by claiming the Beatles were a communist plot? Also, I did a quick look through and didn't see Ernest Angley anywhere. He does his show from either Cleveland or Akron today (yes, he's still around...He looks a lot older, but his rug hasn't aged.)

Angely is still on WBNX-55 (CW) at 9AM weekdays..His Winston Broadcasting company owns the station.

I meant to mention above that the 7PM "Baptist Church Service" on WJAN-17 was also live from Canton Baptist Temple

10 Billy James Hargis & His All-American Kids

Wasn't he the guy who made a name for himself by claiming the Beatles were a communist plot?

Hargis saw commies everywhere. But he made a more infamous name for himself in the 70s (in fact, right around the era of this schedule) when he was accused of boinking some of the students (of both sexes) at his college. He denied it, but quite a few students came forth to accuse him (including some of the "All-American Kids" that sang on his shows). The old story I've heard is that the scandal first snowballed and went public when a young newly married couple from his college confessed to each other on their wedding night that neither one of them were virgins -- they had both had sex with Hargis! : The college folded a few years later, and though Hargis continued to write and preach the rest of his life (he died in 2004), his ministry never fully recovered from the scandal.

Also, I did a quick look through and didn't see Ernest Angley anywhere. He does his show from either Cleveland or Akron today (yes, he's still around...He looks a lot older, but his rug hasn't aged.)

Yes, I believe the hair is a 1974 original from Carpet Remnant World. ;D I spent a few months in the Cleveland area back in the mid-70's, and Ernest was on WAKR (ch. 23) back then. Very distinct and lampoonable style -- in fact, Robin Williams used to do a devastatingly accurate impression of Angely, rarely mentioning his name, but it was Angely's voice and mannerisms Williams would use whenever he was lampooning radio/TV preachers. I'm not sure when in Williams' career he actually saw Angely (he hails from Chicago, not Cleveland), but given his talent for mimicry, I'll bet even if he only caught him once or twice, it was enough to make an impression on him.

I am pretty sure that during the time of these listings Ernest Angely's show was syndicated and being as big as Chicago was/is at the time, I would be shocked if the show wasn't seen there..someplace.


About Ernest Angely...I wonder if he knew about Robin Williams poking fun of him? For some reason I don't think he knew unlike a good many of today's crop of religious figures who monitors everything and anything in all media, like Focus On The Family for example, I was a bit surprised to learn last year that they even montior Denver's ROCK MUSIC radio stations.

I think Angley's program was already on the air nationwide by the early-1970s -- I recall seeing him on TV locally in Bay City, Michigan (on WEYI-TV), before I was in kindergarten (1975).

 

[Braves2005]

Can you give us the Monday, July 29, 1974 listings so we could see what was on weekdays in Cleveland/Akron/Toledo?
