(Fox News) – Pat Robertson, the iconic televangelist who founded
the Christian Broadcasting Network, is stepping down as the daily
host of the long-running flagship program “The 700 Club.”
“Today’s show will be my final as host of The 700 Club,” the 91-
year-old Robertson said on the 60th anniversary of the network,
“My replacement will be my very capable son, Gordon, who will
take over as full-time host of the program.”
Beginning in October, Robertson will be appearing on “The 700
Club” on a monthly basis to answer viewer emails.
According to CBN News, Robertson will continue to make other
on-air appearances but will also be teaching at Regent University,
the Christian institution he founded in 1977.
