I have nearly always lived in Hampton Roads (born and raised, still live in Norfolk).... okay so we know him well here..... Dick head!
Now this is just off the top of my head, community knowledge.... you could look it up.
In the late 1960's, early 1970's he bought one of those local public access channels. .. a UHF channel, Ch27.... I remember.
Anywho..... he started by showing old syndicated shows (I loved Dick Vandyke and Leave it to Beaver, Hogan's Heroes... poor bob crane).... so as we all know advertising pays a heck of a lot of bills & then some. And after the cartoons, old movies, and syndication paid off the farm, things started to CHANGE!
It started with a kids' show called the Jim and Tammy show.... That's right jim and tammy faye baker! It was a Bible story show,..... romper room for christians.
A friend of mine when I was little wanted to be a model (now she's a large animal vet in harrisonburg) so her mom took her there to get her on TV..... Deal was donate and your kid gets to hold the marva maid milk sign.... a sure camera shot, right!
The other parent later told my mom that it wasn't freaky that they prayed it was what they prayed for..... watch the 700 Club, you'll see what I mean.
Well things just got weirder...... The Jim and Tammy Show morphed into the PTL Club and the 700 Club became more intolerant and the Christian Boardcasting Network (CBN was born.
Patopus founded Regent University and law school, which after how many years(?) is still not accredited. The city of Chesapeake made a deal with them to hire many of their teachers in training. After a while the God Squad started to freak out the locals so much that now chesapeake won't hire from there..... and hampton is reluctant.
What else has he been caught up in?.... Oh, blood diamonds, can't forget that.
