Nation’s Only Family-Friendly Music Television Network Now Available on Channel 368

Pensacola, Fl. – December 3, 2007 – Cox Communications has launched the fastest-growing cable channel in television today: the Gospel Music Channel, America’s first 24/7 channel dedicated to all styles of family-friendly Christian and gospel music. Gospel Music Channel is available exclusively to Cox Communications Digital Cable subscribers on channel 368.

Gospel Music Channel (www.gospelmusicchannel.com) is the first and only 24/7 television network dedicated to the rich history and contemporary sounds of gospel/Christian music and its many different genres and artists. From rock to rap, country to soul, southern to hip-hop, Gospel Music Channel crosses cultures and generations. From the soulful sounds of CeCe Winans and Aretha Franklin to the country roots of Carrie Underwood and Tim McGraw, and the contemporary stylings of Casting Crowns, Kirk Franklin and Natalie Grant and everyone in between, the Gospel Music Channel’s got it all. The network’s program schedule features artist biographies, music specials, live concerts, and hosted music videos for the entire family. As the word has spread on the young network, so has its distribution: Gospel Music Channel has doubled its availability this year alone. GMC is already carried in all ten of the top ten markets and 23 of the top 25. People in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Philadelphia, Dallas, Boston, San Francisco, Houston, San Diego, Minneapolis, Tampa, St. Louis, Denver and now Pensacola have this uplifting new network in their homes.  Gospel Music Channel’s distribution growth makes it one of the hottest young networks in cable television. 

“Nowhere else on cable television can audiences tune in to a great mix of R&B, rock, hip-hop, country, soul and jazz – and be confident it’s appropriate for every member of the family,” said Charles Humbard, founder and president of Gospel Music Channel and former president of Discovery Digital Networks. Humbard founded Gospel Music Channel in 2004 and launched the network with network Vice Chairman Brad Siegel, the former head of TNT, TBS and Cartoon Network. “We are thrilled that Cox Communications customers in Pensacola can now view our family-safe music television,” said Siegel.
