(Original Caption) Bishop Sheen to Broadcast Exclusively for ABC. New York, New York: Robert E. Kintner, left, president of the American Broadcasting Company, His Excellency Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, and Leonard H. Goldenson, president [of] American Broadcasting-Paramount Pictures Inc., right, are shown as Mr. Kintner made the announcement today that Bishop Sheen will broadcast exclusively on radio and TV for ABC this fall. On completion of the contract, Bishop Sheen stated, "If our program has been popular...it is due less to our talents than to a desire of the American people to have a program which inspires them to think. Whatever we receive on the program will be devoted entirely as in the past, to the people of the world who cannot help themselves." April 27, 1955.
