===Radio===
Swaggart started SonLife Radio on the noncommercial [[FM band]]. Unlike his previous stations, SonLife was commercial-free and it did not sell time to outside ministries; the preaching and teaching were all produced in-house. The music which it played was primarily [[Southern Gospel]]. SonLife Radio is also streamed on the [[Internet]].<ref>{{cite web |title=SonLife Broadcasting Network {{!}} SBN {{!}} Jimmy Swaggart Ministries |url=http://sonlifetv.com/station_list.html |access-date=28 March 2019 |website=sonlifetv.}}</ref>{{better source needed|date=July 2023}}

===Television===
In 1973, Swaggart proposed to television producers in [[Nashville, Tennessee]] a television program including a fairly large music segment, a short sermon, and time for talking about current ministry projects. They accepted, and within weeks the ''Jimmy Swaggart Telecast'' was being broadcast around the United States.{{citation needed|date=July 2023}}

In 1981, Swaggart launched a daily television program titled ''A Study in the Word''. From the beginning, the primary cable channels which the program was aired on were [[CBN Cable]] (now [[Freeform (TV channel)|Freeform]]), [[Trinity Broadcasting Network|TBN]], and the old [[PTL Satellite Network|PTL Network]] (now [[INSP (TV network)|the Inspiration Network]]).{{citation needed|date=July 2023}}

In 1988, Swaggart lost some of his broadcast and merchandise rights following his first prostitution scandal.<ref name="WaPo19880225" /><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1988-03-14-mn-715-story.html |title = Ministry Makes $150 Million a Year : Rich Life Style Reflects Swaggart Empire's Wealth|website = [[Los Angeles Times]]|date = March 14, 1988}}</ref>

In 1991, Swaggart's career as a standard televangelist came to an end after more local TV stations cancelled their contracts with him following his second prostitution scandal.<ref>{{cite web |date=October 27, 1991 |title=Can Jimmy Swaggart Survive His Second Fall from Grace? |url=https://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/os-xpm-1991-10-27-9110270647-story.html |website=Orlandosentinel}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.apnews.com/2627f1b21a50de7edb48e568e4ddca05 |title = Jimmy Swaggart Losing International Television Ministry|website = [[Associated Press]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.upi.com/Archives/1991/10/26/Jimmy-Swaggarts-television-broadcast-empire-going-dark/1455688449600/ |title = Jimmy Swaggart's television broadcast empire going dark|website=Upi.com}}</ref>

===Jimmy Swaggart Bible College===
In autumn 1984, Swaggart opened Jimmy Swaggart Bible College (JSBC). The college originally provided education and communication degrees.{{citation needed|date=July 2023}}

JSBC enrollment dropped drastically in 1988 when students left as a result of Swaggart's scandal, followed by accreditation issues.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://articles.latimes.com/1988-07-23/local/me-6426_1_jimmy-swaggart-bible-college |title = Enrollment Expected to Drop 72% at Jimmy Swaggart Bible College|website = [[Los Angeles Times]]|date = July 23, 1988}}</ref>

In 1991, JSBC was renamed the World Evangelism Bible College and enrollment dropped to 370 students. The college shut down programs in music, physical education, secretarial science, and communications that October and disbanded its basketball team. In November "the college laid off three Bible professors and an English professor, effective at the end of the fall semester".<ref>{{cite news | url=https://apnews.com/article/50f9993c6ddeda5b78d0afdefbd6508f|title=Jimmy Swaggart Bible College May Shed Evangelist's Name|date=December 13, 1991|work=Associated Press}}
