I was told otherwise, It was Bishop Sheen who had the larger audience.

Looking into it ... and found this interesting story.

    "God love you" - The famous signoff of Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, the Auxiliary Bishop of New York who starred in the popular prime time religious program LIFE IS WORTH LIVING/DUM/ABC/1952-57 that taught lessons of life and morality. In 1953 Bishop Sheen was commenting on Communism and stated "Stalin must one day meet his judgment." Stalin had a stroke a few days later and died within the week. "Uncle Fultie" Sheen aired opposite "Uncle Miltie" Milton Berle of the TEXACO STAR THEATRE on NBC network. Both Sheen and Berle worked for the same boss: Sky Chief. (Sky Chief also being a blend of Texaco gasoline). 

God love him! My grandmother never understood why Sheen was never made a Cardinal.

EWTN airs “Life if Worth Living” once or twice a week. Can’t remember which nights. You can look up the EWTN schedule. I’ve watched the show several times. It’s excellent!
