ATLANTA, July 31 /Christian Newswire/ -- Gospel Music Channel (GMC), television's fastest-growing network and the first and only 24/7 all Gospel/Christian music channel, today announced major new enhancements to GospelMusicChannel.com, the leading fan site for Gospel/Christian music lovers.
The web site's new features include a high-definition video player for exclusive HD viewing of streamed videos from Gospel/Christian artists and programming from GMC. Other enhancements include extensive video including GMC Insider news segments, behind-the-scenes footage and special on-location reports; a free, weekly opt-in e-mail newsletter with news, programming updates and free MP3 downloads; reviews of the top gospel and Christian albums before they hit the streets; extensive bonus material from GMC programming, including videos, blogs, photos and other content not seen on television.
As an incentive for fans to sample the free newsletter, GMC is giving away one free iPod Touch every month in a random drawing of subscribers to the publication. Visit http://www.gospelmusicchannel.com
GospelMusicChannel.com has also assembled an editorial staff that ranks as the most experienced and plugged-in team of journalists covering the Gospel/Christian music scene. The editorial team's members – Deborah Evans-Price (country reporter), Andy Argyrakis (rock reporter), Christa Banister (pop/contemporary reporter) and Lisa Collins (soul/gospel reporter) -- have played key roles in launching music and entertainment web sites; worked with companies including CCM Magazine, Gaylord Entertainment, Warner Brothers, EMI, Universal and all the major Christian music labels; and covered gospel/Christian music for publications such as Billboard, Country Weekly, CMA Close Up, Christian Single, BMI Music World, Radio & Records, the Chicago Tribune and others.
Charles Humbard, founder and president, GMC commented, "We have added layers of even more exciting, state-of-the-art and informative content and assembled an editorial team of the top reporters, writers and experts in Gospel/Christian music who will cover the industry like a blanket. These deep developments will further reinforce GospelMusicChannel.com's stature as the must-stop, first-stop for passionate gospel and Christian music fans."
In March of this year, GMC re-launched GospelMusicChannel.com with an array of interactive features including e-commerce elements, artist blogs and improved inter-linking from artist names and web sites to GMC's on-air program guide. The site also supports GMC’s original programming with bonus video, contests and other compelling content.
