The name came from an early telethon held by [[Conservative]] preacher [[Pat Robertson]], when the station he owned was in danger of going off the air.  He needed $7,000 a month to keep it running; he therefore asked for 700 people to donate $10/month.  Those early supporters were called "The 700 Club" and the name stuck.
