"It was a phenomenal evening, not just for the audience, but for the entire industry as a whole," said Kevin McNeese, President/Founder of NewReleaseToday. "We really believe this movement--which has grown far beyond NRT thanks in large part to JUCE TV--does the important work of revealing a larger Christian music world than most people know about."
The 90-minute program--which will announce this year's award winners--debuts Sunday, March 5, at 7 p.m. Eastern on JUCE TV, followed by encore broadcasts at 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. Monday. Leading up to the broadcast of this year's event is a special broadcast of last year's 60-minute Why We Love Christian Music documentary, produced by NewReleaseToday.

"The entire NRT team has once again proven they are a valuable asset to the Christian music industry. Way to go!"
