How does Les break the rules of religious broadcasting?
He breaks religious broadcasting conventions by not wearing a suit and tie, avoiding a fancy format, and doing all his own announcements. This informal approach distinguishes the program from others and, according to audience feedback, is what viewers appreciate and ask him never to change.
Les explains that he breaks every rule of religious broadcasting: he doesn't wear a suit and tie, the program has no fancy format, and he does all his own announcements. He treats this as part and parcel of the program and says it makes the program different from all the rest. He notes that people repeatedly write and say, "Don't ever change a thing," so he plans to keep using the simple music stand and to keep doing what he does without a suit and tie, because that is what the people like. He also describes the program as an informal Bible study, not preaching at anyone or twisting arms, and he credits the Lord for the response as people get into the Book and see things they've never seen before.
