JACKSONVILLE, FL – (November 5, 2006)—- In a world where everyone screens their phone calls, Bill Keller prefers to just take 'em as they come, and let the ratings fall where they may. And his philosophy is working. During the dog days of July - when almost no one was turning on their TVs - "Live Prayer" drew in an incredible 120,000 viewers."Live Prayer" is the only late night TV program that is a real life, real-time, unscripted, and unedited. No other talk show or host offers what Keller does - a fresh, totally spontaneous approach to problem solving. There is no preaching involved, just a lot of heart and soul, and a good deal of common sense from which his audience can draw in order to overcome their problems.
"It's real life…not knowing what's going to happen next," says Keller. "And it's as exciting for the viewers as it is for me. Not one caller is pre-screened. I welcome everyone to call in, even if it's a negative caller expressing their unabashed hatred for Christians, or someone calling in to mock me. We don't get to choose the people who need our help the most."
Dubbed "the Dr. Phil of prayer," Keller's show has been airing for nearly 4 years on major secular network affiliates in Tampa and the rest of Florida. November 6, will be seen on the "i" Network (formerly PAX TV) every Monday-Friday, from midnight to 1 a.m. ET/PT; 11 p.m. to midnight CT/MT.
"We don't beg for money or sell anything," says Keller. "'Live Prayer' isn't about hustling anyone - it's about helping people when they're in need. We want to be where the lonely, the rejected, and the marginalized congregate. And research tells us that while they're not going to the chapel, you will find them channel surfing on TV late at night."
One of the most cutting-edge ministries in the world, "Live Prayer" was launched by Keller - a businessman and ex-con turned preacher - in 2003 as an outgrowth of his online outreach, Liveprayer.com. Offering prayer and advice to callers, and spiritual exhortation to viewers, "Live Prayer” is available in more than 90 million homes via local broadcast stations, cable and satellite through “i” network.
