. . . FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE . . .
A New Chapter Ahead for Homecoming Radio
Nashville, TN - Celebrating more than 18 years, the globally syndicated radio broadcast known as Bill Gaither’s Homecoming Radio is set to release a new season of programming this month, with brand new music and nationally recognized celebrity guests.
Bill Gaither’s Homecoming Radio program first aired in October of 2004 and over the nearly two decades has grown to be featured daily on SiriusXM. It’s international reach is unparalleled, and is now heard on nearly 4,000 radio stations, networks and digital outlets around the world.
After the sudden passing of long-time producer, writer, and host Phil Brower in May of 2020, a consensus was reached to continue the popular personality’s vision for the show. “Phil was a creative force behind Homecoming Radio for over 15 years.” Bill Gaither states. “His energy, talent, and commitment to Christ were constant. Phil will be greatly missed by all who knew and worked with him, as well as by a world-wide audience of radio listeners who welcomed his amazing voice into their lives. In 2020,” Gaither continues “I called Daniel Britt to help us pick things back up and keep the program moving forward. Honoring the past while looking ahead to the future has been a mainstay of our show - and that’s going to continue!”
Britt acknowledged that “relaunching something with so many moving parts in the midst of a global pandemic proved difficult, yet the Homecoming Friends who make up the show’s cast of characters are ready with great anticipation for all-new broadcasts launching soon!” At a recent taping, co-hosts Kevin Williams & Tori Taff remarked on gathering the gang back together. “It feels so good to be back in the studio,” Williams stated. “This is going to be good! In fact, after just five minutes of recording Tori said, ‘Oh, I’ve missed this! It’s worth the effort!’”
Following a few weeks of special presentations to honor Phil and many others the show said goodbye to in recent months, along with debuting brand new music from The Gaither Vocal Band and others, the show looks forward to a familiar “happy rhythm” of bringing listeners the music, smiles, hope and encouragement fans of the show have come to expect from, long-time hosts, Bill Gaither, Kevin Williams and Tori Taff, as well as special guest hosts like Gordon Mote, Woody Wright, Lauren Talley, Amber Nelon and many others!
The brand new season of shows is slated to begin airing the weekend of March 10. Stations interested in adding Homecoming Radio to their programming may email Daniel Britt at daniel@homecomingradio.comor visit homecomingradio.info. Updates to HomecomingRadio.com and associated digital platforms are currently underway to enhance the listener’s experience. Other special surprises will be in store as the rich tradition of Homecoming Radio continues!

A SOUTHERN GOSPEL REVIVAL
Local DJ to begin broadcasting show via satellite radio
Most people don't look forward to Mondays. For most, the start of the work week means it's the end of the weekend and back to the daily grind.
Not so for Daniel Britt. This Griffin resident is actually looking forward to work Monday, when a new job and some new circumstances will carry his voice nationwide for the first time.
Beginning tomorrow, Britt will begin broadcasting an hour-long radio show on XM Satellite Radio, a nationwide subscriber service that allows listeners to hear more than 100 channels 24 hours a day, commercial-free. Britt's show, "Daniel Britt and Friends." Will broadcast on the new Southern gospel channel enlighten 34 and will feature artists interviews and music selections from both past and present day.
"It's Southern gospel. It's a historic form of music," Britt said. "We're going to go down into the 40's, 50's, and 60's and also feature the new sounds coming out as well. The show is named, "Daniel Britt and friends, and that kind of has two parts. For one, the listeners are listening, and hopefully we'll be providing an intimate enough setting that they will feel like they're at the table with us. The other friends are the artists, the people we get to know."
Britt's first nationwide broadcast will be a tribute to Anthony Burger, the popular gospel pianist who died this year while performing on a Bill Gaither Homecoming cruise in the Caribbean. Britt will talk with Burger's wife and daughter and several of Burger's friends during the hour - a tribute that he finds fitting for his first XM Radio show, since Burger's death got him the gig.
"It's just really kind of a bizarre story," Britt said. "Since I followed gospel music (Burger's death) was a pretty big deal. I had the information on my Web site and XM Radio was doing research and found me. They called me back in early March, totally out of the blue. I was just a paying subscriber, a fan of XM Radio. It's really cool how it happened."
XM Radio officials were intrigued by Britt's personal profile and extensive broadcast experience, which centered around Southern gospel music. After a few discussions with the 24-year old Griffin resident, they were ready to give Britt his own show.
"After discovering Daniel this past spring, it quickly became apparent to my associate Dane Dixon and myself that the nationwide audience of enlighten should have the opportunity to hear what young Daniel has to offer," said Marlin Taylor, program director for XM Radio, in a prepared statement.
Contrary to what his age might suggest, Britt has a long career in radio broadcasting. He began sharing his love of Christian music with listeners when he was just 14.
"I didn't go to school for it", he said. "I had always wanted to work at a radio station. I always like live shows, unscripted shows. I was 14 in 1996 and the church I went to was a big supporter of the Christian radio station. The manager had enough faith in me to let me come in, and he put me on doing some spots."
Britt continued his work at the Warner Robins radio station until 2000, at which time he moved to the Toccoa Falls College Radio Network in Toccoa Falls. After that, Britt began work at the Fish in Atlanta, and he moved to Griffin in 2004 to work at WMVV. Britt will continue his full-time job at WMVV, working on the new XM Radio show in his spare time. Britt plans to broadcast "Daniel Britt and Friends" from his in-home studio.
"It's just convenient to do it from there on the weekend or at night when I get home, he said. "But it's cool to think about the fact that I'm sitting here in Griffin putting it together, and it will go up to Washington to a satellite and then go all over." Britt will produce one new show each week, but his show will air three times through the week at 7PM Mondays, 10PM Thursdays, and noon on Saturdays. Britt said the programming schedule was designed to let people hear his broadcast at a convenient time each week no matter what their time zone. He hopes the strategy works and draws in lots of listeners.
"The name Southern gospel implies that it comes from the South, but (other) people really do like it," Britt said. If I can do something educational and introduce people to how it got started, the more people who can honor the people who have paved the way. I think it's a great opportunity, and it mixes my love for gospel music and live radio. Anytime I can put those two together, it's a bonus."
