History

TBN began in 1973 when the elder Crouches, along with Jim and Tammy Bakker (formerly affiliated with Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network), rented air time on a local UHF TV station in Santa Ana, California. The fledgling network was so weak in its first days, that, according to Crouch in his autobiography, Hello World!, it almost went bankrupt after just two days on the air, leading to the first of TBN's well-known telethons. TBN, then known as the Trinity Broadcasting Systems, spread from UHF stations to cable outlets and then to satellite distribution. After a falling-out between Jim Bakker and Paul Crouch, the Bakkers left to start the PTL 'Praise The Lord' network in Charlotte, NC. PTL would later collapse in 1987 in the wake of a sexual harassment and embezzlement scandal involving Jim Bakker. Ironically, Crouch would buy the rights to PTL's flagship program, The PTL Club, renaming the show Praise The Lord.

According to the TBN website, TBN has several hundred affiliate stations, although just 61 of these stations are regular UHF or VHF stations.

Today, Paul Crouch is TBN's president and chairman, Jan Crouch is its vice-president and director of programming, and their son Paul Jr. is its vice president of administration. The network maintains production deals with their other son, Matthew. While they are probably the most popular personalities on the network as hosts of the programs Praise The Lord and Behind The Scenes, Paul and Jan Crouch have become increasingly absent from TBN broadcasts, due to health problems and old age. Hosting duties for the two shows have fallen to their children.


Revenue and assets

TBN generates nearly $190 million in revenue annually.[1] The network is does not make its finances available and Crouch family members control the boards of all Trinity network entities, which makes Trinity "ineligible to join" the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability, a evangelical self-regulating group.[2] It does not air commercials (excluding TBN Italy); rather, two-thirds of its revenue comes from viewer contributions and one-third from other televangelists' payments for running their programming.[citation needed] Its $120 million donation revenue is larger than any other television ministry.

Criticism

Fundraising and Wealth

Trinity Broadcasting Network has come under heavy criticism for its' promotion of the so-called prosperity gospel -- a Word of Faith belief that a donation to a particular ministry will cause God to materially reward the person giving -- during constant fundraising.[9][10][11] and his claims about faith healing.[12] During frequent telethons -- "Praise-a-thons" in the spring and autumn and "Macedonian Calls" during the summer -- viewers are often subject to emotional appeals by Paul and Jan Crouch or their guests. Sometimes, divine retribution is threatened if viewers fail to donate. Critics have claimed that Paul and Jan Crouch use TBN's donations from these telethons to build an opulent lifestyle; the Crouches allegedly own thirty homes across the United States and own a private jet.

TBN refuses to disclose its financial situation for public inspection, and the network is not a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability.[14] TBN's refusal to disclose financial information, as well as the strong promotion of the "prosperity gospel," has caused the Christian watchdog group WallWatchers to grade TBN with an "F" for its lack of transparency.[15] The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) is an accreditation agency that claims to promote fiscal integrity and sound financial practices among member organizations. ...


Sexual Harassment Settlement

According to a September 12, 2004 Los Angeles Times story, Paul Crouch Sr. paid Enoch Lonnie Ford $425,000 in 1998 as a settlement over what Ford argued was an unjust dismissal from working at TBN.[16] The settlement contained several other points, among them an agreement for Ford to be silent about an alleged homosexual encounter they had had in 1996 at a TBN-owned cabin near Lake Arrowhead, California.[17] In a statement released on September 22, 2004, TBN denied Crouch had a homosexual affair with Ford, but confirmed the payment of the $425,000 settlement.[16][18] is the 255th day of the year (256th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...
