Due to the success of <i>Come On Over</i>, Robertson made Bakker the host of a new prime-time talk show called <i><a href="/wiki/The_700_Club" title="The 700 Club">The 700 Club</a></i>, which would gradually become CBN's flagship program, and become syndicated on numerous cable channels and network affiliates. </p><p>In the early 1970s, the Bakkers left CBN and traveled, holding <a href="/wiki/Telethon" title="Telethon">telethons</a> at Christian TV stations. In <a href="/wiki/Charlotte,_North_Carolina" title="Charlotte, North Carolina">Charlotte</a>, <a href="/wiki/North_Carolina" title="North Carolina">North Carolina</a>, the Bakkers set up <a href="/wiki/Trinity_Broadcasting_Network" title="Trinity Broadcasting Network">Trinity Broadcasting Network</a> (TBN) with TV executives Sandy and Martha Wheeler, who began airing a program called <i>Praise the Lord</i> on Charlotte station <a href="/wiki/WCNC-TV" title="WCNC-TV">WRET</a>.

However, the relationship only lasted about eight months due to a falling-out between Jim Bakker and Paul Crouch, causing the Bakkers to leave this ministry as well. The California entity was rebranded as TBN, which would grow to become the world's largest faith-based network in later years. Before leaving and moving east, the Bakkers managed to retain the rights to use the initials "PTL". </p><p>What began as a local TV broadcast in Charlotte changed when several members of the Bakker's staff in California moved to Charlotte in February 1974 and with the local ex-TBN staff, into what became known as the PTL Television Network. The parent company changed its name to Heritage Village Church & Missionary Fellowship in 1976–77.

From 1984 to 1987, Bakker and his PTL associates sold $1,000 "lifetime memberships," which entitled buyers to a three-night stay annually at a luxury hotel at Heritage USA. According to the prosecution at Bakker's later fraud trial, tens of thousands of memberships had been sold, but only one 500-room hotel was ever completed. Bakker "sold" more "exclusive partnerships" than could be accommodated and raised more than twice the money that was needed to build the actual hotel. Much of the money went into Heritage USA's operating expenses, and Bakker kept $3.4 million in bonuses for himself. The $279,000 payoff for the silence of <a href="/wiki/Jessica_Hahn" title="Jessica Hahn">Jessica Hahn</a>, who was mistakenly supposed to be a Bakker staff member, was paid by Tammy Faye's later husband, <a href="/wiki/Roe_Messner" title="Roe Messner">Roe Messner</a>.
