Greetings in the name of GMA coverage!
I just got back from the GMA Dove Awards Nominations News Conference in downtown Nashville.
Here's a quick report on a few of the changes the Gospel Music Association is making:
* There are now seven nominees per category, instead of five.
* The Dove Awards will be broadcast live on the Gospel Music Channel and then there will be two encores to follow.
* The ceremony will be shot in high definition.
* And, the awards ceremony is going the "no host" approach. Usually there is a host or two emceeing the evening.
We promised you expanded GMA coverage. Though GMA week isn't until April, the nominations were announced today for the April 23 ceremony. Keep watching our site(s) for more GMA coverage and announcements as GMA week draws near.
In the coming days, we'll post news covering various artists were nominated, so check back for that. And, to read the full list of nominees, go to:
