Stressing the public's sensitivity to reporters questioning religion, Sawyer said that she spoke with other journalists, and then eventually to ABC producers, who then decided to conduct their own investigation into Grant, Lea, and Tilton.<ref name="LiveRegisKathieLee">''[[Live with Kelly and Ryan|Live with Regis and Kathie Lee]]'', aired November 21, 1991, as compiled on ''The Prophet of Prosperity: Robert Tilton and the Gospel of Greed'', DVD produced by The Trinity Foundation, publication date not specified.</ref> ABC producers learned about possible resources available from Anthony and Trinity, and contacted them for information.
