Award-winning singer, minister and producer, Pastor Donnie McClurkin’s radio show makes history by
shooting to #1 in New York and Philadelphia. It has been #1 for two consecutive weeks in New York.
The Donnie McClurkin Show outperformed all other formats in two of the nation’s top markets—New
York City and Philadelphia.
According to the July 2015 Nielsen PPM ratings for adults 25-54, the show scored a 12.5 share on New
York City’s Emmis-owned WBLS 5a-6am, beating out the popular all-news station WINS by almost two
full share points. The New York City steamroll continued in August, with The Donnie McClurkin Show
grabbing an 11.6 share. For both months, these double-digit ratings were the highest rated hours on
the entire radio station.
WBLS/WLIB Operations Manager Skip Dillard says, ”Donnie has the #1 radio
program in its time slot in the entire New York radio market. The current
ratings are the highest that I have ever seen. Donnie is number one by a
large margin because it is a great show.” In July, Philadelphia’s
iHeartMedia-owned WDAS scored another #1 ranking with The Donnie
McClurkin Show, grabbing a 10.1 share.
To be a #1 show on an Urban station is close to impossible. To
be a #1 inspirational show is virtually unheard of in the radio
industry and defies all odds. While WWDM in Columbia,
South Carolina records a #1 ranking with a 26.1 share.
McClurkin does it with masterful ease and armed with a
flock that follows him in on site, on air, and online.
McClurkin’s Facebook page has more than two million
“likes” and he has nearly a half million Twitter followers.
The show is syndicated by Westwood One and Gary
Bernstein’s Oceanic Tradewinds Media.
“I'm thankful that this show can reach multitudes
across the country and around the world, providing
great music and information that inspires listeners to this
degree. We're reaching millions and looking to reach
millions more!" says McClurkin.
McClurkin’s program recently has expanded to the
overseas markets and is now airing in London, Jamaica,
the Bahamas, and SOON to the entire continent of Africa.
The Donnie McClurkin Show is produced by T&T Creative.
