Marion Gordon “Pat” Robertson, the religious broadcasting pioneer who founded The Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), died early on June 8 at his home in Virginia, the network confirmed. He was 93.

CBN honored the longtime TV host and one-time presidential candidate in a statement on Thursday, saying Robertson’s rise to prominence was rooted in what he called “a vision from God” to create the Christian news outlet in 1960.
