'700 Club’ host Pat Robertson steps down after 54 years
Fox News
Robertson, 91, said in a statement that he hosted the network's flagship program for the last time on Friday, and that his son Gordon Robertson will take over the weekday show starting on Monday.
"I will no longer be the host of the ‘700 Club’ after, I think, 54 years of hosting the program," Robertson said on the show on Friday, although he vowed to return from time to time, if he’s had a "revelation" he needs to share. "I thank God for everyone that’s been involved. And I want to thank all of you."
Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network started airing on Oct. 1, 1961, after he bought a bankrupt UHF television station in Portsmouth, Virginia. The "700 Club" began production in 1966.
