Christian Radio is reacting to the coronavirus outbreak. Each station is handling it in their own way depending on station and market needs. To read what stations are doing go HERE.

From Michael W Smith – It’s with deep regret that we’re announcing the postponement of the remaining dates on the Michael W. Smith: 35 Years of Friends Tour effective immediately.

“In what people have referred to as uncertain times, I am certain of this: God is in control and loves us more than we can even imagine. I rest in Him and I trust Him.  I look forward to rescheduling these concerts and doing what I feel God has called me to do.”

Dates will be rescheduled.

From Toby Mac “It is with a heavy heart but a responsible mind that I have to announce that the remaining 10 shows of the Hits Deep Tour are being postponed until August. We are at this very moment completely set up in Simmons Bank Arena in North Little Rock and regretfully, but responsibly won’t be able to play tonight. We love you guys and are so thankful for you. We encourage you to be safe, pray, and care for your families. We have faced so much lately, but I am holding on (with everything in me) to the promise that He will never leave or forsake us. He is a Good, Good, Father and I will stand on that.”

Effective immediately, the music of Vineyard Worship will now be integrated into the Integrity Music team via marketing, distribution, and publishing administration. Vineyard Worship’s existing catalog of songs and recordings will now be available through Integrity Music, and new songs will be given a greater platform and larger reach than ever before through this new relationship. “Integrity Music is honored to join with Vineyard Worship to undertake marketing and distribution services of their illustrious catalog and future releases,” shares Jonathan Brown, President of Integrity Music.
