Yet 'without Oxford Media's knowledge or authorization, Sutkus modified the standard terms and conditions to add a rate adjustment clause,' Oxford claims. The 'rates were fixed for the entire one-year contract term, not subject to adjustment for any reason,' the complaint states. Oxford's rate for broadcasting Sonlife's programming in 20 was just over 1 percent of that - $1.8 million a year, according to the complaint. Swaggart, now 81, began broadcasting over 40 years ago, and though his current income appears to be under wraps, the Los Angeles Times reported in 1988 that he was making $150 million a year. 'Under the SBN banner, FWCC develops and distributes religious programming, primarily created by the Jimmy Swaggart Ministries, throughout the United States and internationally,' according to the complaint. Oxford says it sold broadcast time on its digital 'Prism' channel to the defendant in 20 through nonparty Beatriz Sutkus, of Busy Bea's Media Group LLC. dba Sonlife Broadcasting Network, of Baton Rouge, La., in Chicago Federal Court Monday.īased about 20 miles west of Chicago in Oakbrook, Ill., Oxford says it 'oversees the only station in the Midwest that broadcasts, without censor, a spiritual formatted broadcast 24 hours a day.'
