Tropes/The Artifact


 * The 700 Club for MTM. When Argosy (and before them, Shaw and Corus) bought the network from Pat Robertson, the deal stipulated that they had to keep running the show. MTM, for their part, goes to great lengths to distance itself from the show, surrounding it with shows or films whose progressive or centrist content is in direct opposition to Robertson's political views, putting up disclaimers both before and after the broadcast (some of which are extremely sarcastic and insulting to it), and even removing its name from on-screen cable listings whenever it is on.
 * MTM won't (technically can't) attach any network branding to the broadcast during The 700 Club. It's technically a separate broadcast from the rest of the network.
