Trace and Thema, a subsidiary of Canal+ International, have sealed an agreement for the merger of Trace Gospel and Gospel Music TV under the name Trace Gospel.
The pooling of the catalogues and the expertise of the two broadcasters makes it possible to offer viewers and advertisers an even richer gospel channel, according to a press release. The channel’s musical offering covers the entire spectrum of this musical genre (contemporary, urban, “praise” and traditional gospel). The combined new channel Trace Gospel, operated by Trace, will be able to offer a complete platform of audiovisual services and events around gospel music.
The editorial line of Trace Gospel is simple: contemporary and classic hits as well as novelties. Trace Gospel guarantees in its programming the promotion of the best gospel sounds produced on the African continent, a ranking of current African hits with Africa Hit 10 and a weekly thematic playlist “Gospel Africa”.
Trace Gospel is the link between all gospel cultures and features gospel artists from Africa, the Caribbean, the United States, Europe, and Latin America such as Mike Abdul, Jimmy Gait, Dena Mwana, Jermaine Edouards, J Prince, Hezekiah L. Walker, Kirk Franklin, Erica Campbell, Travis Greene, Tasha Cobbs, Olivier Cheuwa, Maggie Blanchard, and Gabriela Rocha.
