New York, N.Y.  July 29, 2010   On the heels of winning the prestigious GMWA Crystal Mic Award for best Syndicated Radio Program for 2010, Oceanic Tradewinds, Inc. in partnership with T &T Creative announced the expansion of Donnie McClurkin’s radio empire with the launching of both a daily and weekend program called Gospel Gold.

 Recently marking his 5 year anniversary as a syndicated radio host, McClurkin’s programs have consistently delivered top ratings in virtually every major market including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Detroit & San Francisco among many others. 

Gospel Gold will be offered as a one-hour daily show and a two-hour weekend program.  Both will feature the celebrated pastor and Grammy award winning musician as host, sharing his unique perspective on the biggest songs in the history of the Gospel format including the Hawkins Family, the Clark Sisters, Shirley Caesar, the Winans, Yolanda Adams, Andrae Crouch and Kirk Franklin.

Skip Dillard, WBLS-WLIB New York's Operations Manager, and one of the first stations to sign up for “Gospel Gold” says, " Donnie is in the Top 3 Percent of any announcer that I have ever worked with or heard.  Donnie's programs consistently rank among the top stations among 25-54 Adults, and often as high as the NUMBER ONE MUSIC PROGRAM in New York. Donnie’s charismatic and engaging personality combined with the program's clean and tight production, are all formatted brilliantly for today's PPM world."

  

Syndicator Gary Bernstein says”, the affiliate radio stations demanded more Donnie Programming, so it was simply a question of producing more award-winning quality content to better serve our loyal and passionate fan base”.

There will be several appointment listening features including “Profiles with Donnie McClurkin", which will also be integrated for station websites via award-winning video content. Other stellar benchmarks include the Belle Report hosted by Sheila Belle, "Flashback", "Pastor Pick's", and "Spread the Word".
