“It was a very different way to grow up.  You don’t realize it while you’re doing it.  Getting on airplanes, traveling around the world, singing in stadiums.  I never knew anything else.  At age five I did my first television show, with my dad and sister.  We took people on a televised tour of the Holy Land.  We also did a live satellite broadcast at Christmas.  It was the first time that a live show had aired from there in the U.S. and around the world.  We took people on an intimate tour of places where Jesus walked.”  That’s not a prominent entertainer talking about the early days of a lifelong career.  It’s Charley Humbard (pictured top right), the founder and CEO of UP TV, recalling a childhood spent traveling and working with his father Rex, the first televangelist, during a recent lunch with Jack Myers and me at Michael’s restaurant in New York City.  We were joined by Amy Winter (pictured below, center), Executive Vice President and General Manager, UP.
