Hmm 7505 KTBN in Utah, haven't they been broadcasting since 1990.

Are they a commune? Maybe a job for BATF..

Not a commune. TBN -- the Trinity Broadcasting Network -- has its
headquarters here in Costa Mesa, CA. It's right next to the 405
freeway, some kind of palace the organization has built to house their
headquarters offices and programming studios. Around Christmas time
they start lighting up all the decorative lights they have strung out
all over the place -- I'd hate to have their electric bill! (They took
some flak a few years ago when they had all their lights onwhile we were
all going through those rolling blackouts due to electricity shortages,
when the providers were gouging the state on power pricing. As a
"broadcaster" they were exempted from the rolling blackouts, while we
ordinary folks had to suffer through 'em.) They also have their own
cable TV channel and are trying to buy a PBS station (KOCE) here in
Orange County, CA as a local UHF outlet.

The head of the outfit, Paul Crouch, is being investigated by the Los
Angeles Times for allegations of a homosexual affair, and also some
muddy financial dealings.
