Huh? At last check, the show didn't debut until September of 1986.
 
Praise The Lord on KAIL had nothing to do with Jim Bakker (though he did work with TBN for the first year they existed back in 74 before starting his own ministry) but was the show produced by TBN. Jim Bakker just used PTL Club standing for Praise The Lord Club. Still PTL Club and Praise teh Lord were two different shows

Wasn't PTL Club alternately titled the Jim Bakker Show, later the Jim and Tammy Show?
