12 May 1975 – Guam

On May 12, 1975, the American Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted TWR permission to construct facilities on the island of Guam. On August 22 the station began daily broadcasting.

In 1977, we went on the air with two 100,000-watt shortwave transmitters, and in 1981 two more 100,000-watt transmitters were added. These four transmitters and associated antenna systems enable programs to be broadcast in more than 35 languages to Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Asia Pacific region.

7 June 1978 – Sri Lanka

TWR's 6th transmitting location began airing programs on June 7, 1978, utilizing a 400,000-watt AM transmitter. The facility is ideally located to reach the some one billion people of the Indian sub-continent--17 percent of the world's population.

During the first three weeks of the station's operation, TWR's offices received more than 23,000 letters from all over this region.

(Today, over 75,000 letters are received each month from listeners in this area.)
