'''INSP - The Inspiration Network''' is a Christian television network headquartered in Indian Land, South Carolina near [[Charlotte, North Carolina]]. The channel came out of the "Praise The Lord" ('''PTL''') Television Network (also known as PTL - The Inspirational Network), founded in the late-1970s by [[Jim Bakker]], a televangelist notable for his daily Christian variety program, ''[[The PTL Club]]''. In 1990, following Bakker's scandalous fall from grace that had bankrupted the PTL ministry and [[Heritage USA]], televangelist [[Morris Cerullo]] and his son, David, acquired the network and rebranded it "The New Inspirational Network", later becoming simply "INSP - The Inspirational Network" and today known as "INSP - The Inspiration Network". They also relocated the facilities from Heritage USA in [[Fort Mill, South Carolina]] to a newly constructed production studio and headquarters in a business park a few miles away just over the state line in Charlotte. |
