When Presidential Advisor Lin Yang-kang announced that he and Hau Pei-tsun were throwing their hats into the ring, "The Voice of the Nation" had a crew at Lin Yang-kang's house on Yangmingshan immediately. For the first time ever, its ratings exceeded those of Big Three programs airing in the same time slot, making the show a TVBS trademark.
例如，八十四年底總統府資政林洋港宣佈將和郝柏村搭檔競選總統，《全民開講》立刻將畫面轉進在陽明山上林洋港住所，使得它的收視率首次超越三台同時段節目，成為 TVBS 的招牌節目。
