If offered, how much would you be willing to pay for a banner ad-free premium membership to TBN? Might also include some other perks. Just an idea right now based on many requests.

Sorry - but zero.
I access TBN on iPhone almost exclusively and never see an ad. Never.
So, an ad free service - to me - has no benefit v status quo.

I would be more willing to pay for a good quality iphone app (like we used to have, but better). I would pay nothing for an ad free premium membership.

I would pay $5/mo.
I don’t want to miss the latest reports on the ICE death spiral and the ads are a pita.

I wouldn't subscribe, I don't see ads now with the two blockers I use.

$25 a year 
but! would need something in return like the option to highlight all OP remarks so you can easily skip everyone's answers but focus on OP's response, also arrow tags so you can go to exactly where you left off

I see no intrusive ads, don't use a smart phone and am always broke.

I'd pay, in the hope it would weed out all the cranks on here. Then if it didn't I'd probably leave.
/edit - and with my adblocker I only see a couple of ads daily.
I just have a large space BLANK where the ads would have been.

I allow the ads (add blocker not enabled for this site) to generate revenue to keep the site up and functioning.
With so many of my basic services and costs going up each month, no subscriptions for me.
a yearly fee might work though as long as it's not crazy.

On the desktop the ads are blocked but I do see them on my phone.

I would not subscribe. I barely hang around now. I used to really enjoy the site, but the last few years it's been too one sided political, to the point I follow just a few threads and ignore the rest. Not sure what the solution to that is, because everything eventually turns political.

It swung the other way a few years prior to that. I assume you were ok with everything then?

Assume anything you want. No idea which otherway you are referring to. This is a good example of a baiting question, doesn't define anything but tries to stir the pot on an assumption.

Your gripe was a bait too...which had an assumption baked in. You knew that, right?
This place would get pretty boring if it was an echo chamber of similar ideas, which is kind of what that assumption was cutting through. People should not just quit because their echo chamber is not winning in the public square of ideals.
Imagine if a few old men only thought one Tractor was the best for EVERYONE. Then they got upset if everyone didn't also believe that one tractor was the best. Then when that idea gets challenged, they just leave. That is basically the mentality put forth here...
OP
That was TBN about 20 years ago. The politics only followed what's going on in society.

Some folks who can't remain civil should be banned.
