True and embarrassing story, when my household first got cable, and I saw “The 700 Club” scroll by on the old PreveiwGuide channel, I got really excited because I thought it was going to be a show about Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth.

Leave me alone, I was like 9…

BU/Dan:

Thanks for the correction; I was wrong on that one. “The 700 Club” and its home station were Robertson’s; Bakker joined early on and developed the talk show format (as a puppet show!) that Robertson took over when they left and made into the center of the channel’s programming, but Robertson owned the overall program.

It wasn’t accidental that I implied Robertson took the show from Bakker; I thought that was what had happened, but I was wrong. My mistake.

“The Bakkers’ first TV show, “The 700 Club”, wound up as Pat Robertson’s personal fraudulent cash cow.”

Another lie by you. The Baaker’s first show was “Come on Over.” The 700 Club started after they left. Do you ever tell the truth?

KTK could certainly use some clarification there, but he doesn’t claim that tha Bakkers started the 700 Club, but that it was where the Bakkers started. But his phrasing does imply BU’s reading, unfortunately.

Not sure about the rest of the comments, but the one about Robertson is completely wrong. He started 700 Club with his money and station. Jim and Tammy Faye came in with him and did an afternoon program but moved on to form PTL with private financial backing. How does someone steal what they owned in the first place.

“Bakker signed it over to Jerry Falwell on a handshake agreement that Falwell would give it back when Bakker was ready; Falwell later double-crossed his fellow man of God and kept the property for himself.”

As usual, you are an unmitigated liar.
