Televangelist takes his show to the internet

No television time? No problem. Bill Keller, the St. Petersburg televangelist who had run-ins with three local television stations last year over the content and format of his shows, plans to take his Live Prayer call-in program to the Internet tonight. In his new venture, Keller will broadcast at LivePrayer.com from 10 p.m. to midnight. Keller, 49, who plans to air the show from a warehouse in Largo, will follow the same format he used during his multi-year run on several bay area stations. This week's discussion topics include critical looks at the possibility of a Mitt Romney presidency, Islam and Oprah Winfrey, whom Keller has called a "new-age witch." "The only difference is I don't have to get any more phone calls at 3 in the morning from CBS executives saying, 'You can't talk about this anymore,'" Keller said.
