Badboy, are you thinking of the time of Charles Taze Russell when his sermons were run as a column in many newspapers.
Proclaimers chap. 5 p. 58 Proclaiming the Lord?s Return (1870-1914)
The December 1, 1904, issue of the Watch Tower announced that sermons by C. T. Russell were appearing in three newspapers. The next issue of the Watch Tower, under the heading "Newspaper Gospelling," reported: "Millions of sermons have thus been scattered far and near; and some at least have done good. If the Lord wills we shall be glad to see this ?door? keep open, or even open still wider." The door of "newspaper gospelling" did open still wider. In fact, by 1913 it was estimated that through 2,000 newspapers Russell?s sermons were reaching 15,000,000 readers!
In the 3/1/04 WT page 11, paragraph 17, it mentions this and the number used is "2,000."
"For example, arrangements were made for sermons on Bible topics to be published in up to 2,000 newspapers."
