Michael F. & Kyong Liong Kim (1986) The Uses and Effects of Televangelism: A Factorial Model of
Support and Contribution. Journal
for the Scientific Study of Religion, 25(4), 410-423. Database:
Academic Search Premier. The first source I chose is pretty straight forward,
it explains a model that televangelists used to basically be compensated for
their work and how they get and hold their viewership. I chose this journal
because it has a broad history on how televangelists have and still continue to
persuade people to give them top dollar for a service that quite frankly may
not even exist.
Howley,
K. (2001). PREY TV TELEVANGELISM AND INTERPELLATION. Journal Of Film &
Video, 53(2/3), 23. This is a journal stating how televangelists
target their viewership by misleading fear and anxiety into them. This journal
will be great research because it shares how and why televangelists help you by
helping themselves.

This journal is a history and study of Trinity Broadcasting Network, one of
Americas largest and longest airing televangelists programs. This journal holds
statistics, analysis and other quality information for this specific program to
give me a little more in-depth detail to how these televangelists successfully
cornered the American market for television religion.
These are good sources, but dated. See if you can find more recent sources by removing the "Scholarly Journal" limitation OR ordering your findings by date, rather than relevance. The reason for newer sources is to see if anything has changed, as the rest of the media world changes frequently. Eg. are any of them using social media?

Third item: Capitalization issues in title -- use standard capitalization for brand names. Is Trinity Broadcasting still on air?
