What happens

The Old-Time Gospel Hour was a ministry radio and television program broadcast from Thomas Road Baptist Church hosted by minister Jerry Falwell featuring the church's Sunday service. Started in 1956 by Jerry Falwell, The Old-Time Gospel Hour gained a national following on radio and television. The series was a major revenue source for Falwell, bringing in more than $90 million during the early 1980s. The show's popularity continued through the 1990s, during which time it was still broadcast on hundreds of stations across the country. The television show ended after Falwell died in 2007.
