TechnoratiThe network recently received its first Dove Award nomination, also known as the “Christian Grammy,” in February for its involvement as Casting Crowns’ production company. The band’s new hit CD, Lifesong Live was exclusively aired on the station.
The channel, as well as Franklin, is encouraging fans of the programming to speak to DirecTV and voice their passion for the channel. On a web page at www.gospelmusicchannel.com, they list directions on how to approach DirecTV.
“I am inviting my fellow artists, industry associates, radio announcers, friends and fans to join with me in letting DirecTV know that as paying subscribers to their service, it is important to us to they keep the quality programming that Gospel Music Channel offers in their channel lineup,” said the Christian solo artist in his letter.
“Let's not miss this opportunity to stand together and bring about change for Kingdom purpose!"
Correction: Friday, March 16, 2007
An article on Friday, March 16, 2007, about DirecTV discontinuing the Gospel Music Channel television network in ten markets incorrectly reported that the withdrawals were due to low viewing statistics. According to Gospel Music Channel representatives, the network has actually received strong ratings, and the discontinuances are only due to business-related reasons.
