We are in ongoing negotiations with a variety of providers so that we may be added to their service, but in the meantime there are a number of ways to urge your specific provider to add Gospel Music Channel to their lineup:
1. When you pay your bill each month, write a note on the bill requesting that they add Gospel Music Channel to their service.
2. Call or write to your cable’s marketing representatives and let them know that you want the channel.
3. Click Get the Channel in the gold navigation bar to sign our petition.
