Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Long-running Christian TV show formerly hosted by Pat Robertson, produced by the Christian Broadcasting Network, and shown in syndication as well as Freeform (the current form of what started out as CBN Satellite Service). Initially a run-of-the-mill show focusing on Christian testimonials and gospel performances, The 700 Club gradually evolved into a daily platform for Robertson's ultraconservative political commentary. It also has news reports from CBN News, mainly of topics of Christian interest. Robertson announced his retirement as host of the program on October 1, 2021, with his son Gordon (who has served as a co-host and executive producer of the program since 1998) tapped as the new host beginning with the October 4, 2021 episode. | |

The Artifact: For Freeform, which Pat Robertson had started as CBN Satellite Service in 1977. When Disney (and before them, Fox and Saban Entertainment) bought the network from Robertson, the deal stipulated that they had to keep running the show. ABC Family/Freeform, for their part, goes to great lengths to distance itself from the show, surrounding it with shows or films like The Fosters, Blackish, the Harry Potter movies note Robertson is rather infamous for being one of the primary proponents of the idea that Harry Potter indoctrinates children into devil-worship and witchcraft and The Simpsons, whose progressive content is in direct opposition to Robertson's political views, putting up disclaimers both before and after the broadcast (some of which are extremely sarcastic and insulting to it), and even removing its name from on-screen cable listings whenever it is on. ABC Family/Freeform won't* technically can't attach any network branding to the broadcast during The 700 Club. It's technically a separate broadcast from the rest of the network. | |

Artifact Title: The show's title comes from Robertson's original 700 donors. The name of the Christian Broadcasting Network counts as one. Originally, CBN was a tiny broadcast network, with affiliates in a few East Coast cities and the previously mentioned cable station. Eventually, however, CBN sold off everything and the cable station morphed over the years into Freeform, although Robertson managed to work in a contractual headlock forcing it to (reluctantly) air his programming. The Christian Broadcasting Network as it exists today is really a production company and syndicator for The 700 Club and related shows. | |
