There have been good televangelists out there. Fulton Sheen had a show sixty years ago with a good following and he never used it for scamming viewers. He used the show as a medium for teaching the faith and he did a great job of it. Episodes of his show are still aired occasionally late at night on EWTN. Most modern protestant televangelists are only in it for monetary gain, but there are probably still a few honest guys out there.

That's awesome to hear. While I am an atheist, I totally respect their rights to preach their doctrines in any way they so choose. TV is an amazing tool and I fully support everyone's rights to spread ideas whether they are good or bad, true or false. But using it to lie for monetary gain is fucking despicable.
