Tropes/Creator's Apathy


 * The 700 Club: Both MTM and CBN are pretty open about this regarding their partnership. MTM has stated they don't care whether or not anyone watches it, while Pat Robertson refuses to terminate his contract out of spite for the network's "centrist" content.
 * In January 2021, CBN had a twelve hour Sunday telethon that started at noon and ended at midnight. MTM went on Twitter to declare the channel was going "off the air" for twelve hours and, without directly mentioning the telethon at all, encouraged their audience to not watch the channel during those twelve hours and to come back at midnight to watch an airing of Lunatics.
