The American televangelists would’ve been accessible via the religious channels on Sky but I don’t know anyone that watched them (I myself only ever watched a bit of Another Life on somewhere like the God Channel). Curiously enough, when Sky One was closed a few years ago, the programme that had run longest on its schedule was Hour of Power, which used to go out in the early hours of a Sunday morning.I think my first knowledge of televangelism was when Irish Eurovision winner / future Presidential candidate Dana Rosemary Scallon got involved with EWTN in the 80’s/90’s, although I think she hosted a music show as opposed to outright televangelism. It was only ever reported about here and wasn’t broadcast but it was enough to pique my interest. Since then I’ve learned about the OTT worlds of the likes of Jan Crouch and Tammy Faye and I find the wranglings and politics somewhat fascinating.</blockquote>
