MONTREAL (A.G. Media Group) - A.G. Media Group, Inc. announced today that it has been invited to syndicate a weekly audio news report to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
Featured on the BBC's Three Counties Radio 103.8 FM - 10pm-12am GMT (5pm-7pm EST), Richard Picart, A.G. Media's COO and GospelCity.com personality will present a weekly report on the latest news, music and industry developments as featured on GospelCity.com. The program, aptly named "G-Focus" with DJ Host Howard McCanna, broadcasts to the North London counties of Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire with a total reach of 1.5 million residents.
Mr. Picart served for 5 years as a co-host for Canada's largest college broadcaster, CIUT 89.5fm (Toronto Show - "Gospel Music Machine") and has recently produced GospelCity.com interview segments with Steve Harvey, Vivica A. Fox, Martha Munizzi, Vickie Winans, John P. Kee, Kirk Franklin, Mary Mary, Cece Winans and Andre Crouch.
"This convergence of the Internet and traditional radio broadcasting is a natural one that will significantly grow our audience in a short time," comments Picart. "We intend to extend the GospelCity.com brand to over 25 million people via traditional radio via our syndicated content globally."
In addition, Mr. Picart was named a member of the Urban Connection Develop Team featured at the recent Christian Music Industry Conference, staged by the Gospel Music Association (GMA) which serves as the face and voice for the $700 million Christian music industry.
This strategic alliance helps promote, build and diversify traffic at A.G. Media web properties. The GMA also provides content and features for A.G. Media's web properties and will create cross-promotional opportunities for both GMA and A.G. Media.
