I don't know if I would say the collection is worthless - maybe it
can't be monetized. The show's format was similar to a Christian Mike
Douglas show. I used to watch it as a kid when I lived near Charlotte
(cartoons would come on immediately after, BTW). They had all sorts of
guests - singers, actors, political figures, etc. Plus it's a
fascinating look at mass-media ministry in the late 20th century. It
should go to a university archive, IMHO.<br>

<br>
There is no shortage of religious programming. It is cheap to produce and distribute. And it does tend to be redundant!<br>
<br>
While some fans of the old PTL might buy a DVD or two of the "greatest hits", few would watch the regular reruns.<br>
<br>
I think RCA had a great package deal that was attractive to most religious broadcasters.<div class="Ih2E3d"><br>

Here's a story that may lead to a lot of transfer work for someone. Actually, I think it's about 50% quad and 50% 1". If you click on the slide show advance, you'll see a pic of some of the stored tape.<br>

As far as I know from a few visits to the studio, PTL was always an RCA shop, starting out with a TR-22 and later having a bunch of TR-70's.<br>
<br>
I have an equipment inventory tag from an auctioned off piece of their equipment. Besides the usual item number, the tag reads "Property of GOD, On Loan to PTL". It was an "interesting" operation to say the least...........<br>
