It's amazing that the country's top religious network is working hard to not turn into another PTL.

Last week, the Trinity Broadcasting Network was served a lawsuit from the Christian channel's founders' granddaughter for being threatened to trying to expose a major financial scandal at the network. Previously, the woman, Brittany Crouch-Koper alleged that the network covered up everything from big expenses such as mansions, a house the founders' dogs and even a $49 million jet plane.

According to the lawsuit, Koper claims that her uncle and TBN vice president Matthew Crouch was "tapping a gun" while asking her what would happen if she exposed TBN and his financial impurities.

If TBN goes under, could this mean more spectrum bait?

...interestingly, Paul & Jan Crouch and Jim & Tammy Faye Bakker were part of TBN in Orange County in the early '70s. When the Bakkers decided to split away from TBN and moved base to Charlotte, the Crouches had already begun their Praise The Lord chat show, and granted the Bakkers permission to use the initials of that show for their own use, hence The PTL Club. Before that, Jim Bakker had helped create the current format of The 700 Club while working for Pat Robertson at CBN in Virginia Beach...

The maximum payday for TBN is in the $3 billion range with high-end estimates for all of its owned stations. Even if that is an upper bound I would assume it is one attractive cash-out. All but two of its stations are on UHF.
