We can’t get enough of David and Tamela Mann! Lucky for us, we are afforded additional TV time with the April 7 series premiere of Mann and Wife on the
Bounce network.
The sitcom pairs David and Tamela in a Brady Bunch format as a newly married couple with children from previous marriages adjusting to their new family life. We can rest assured as in all of the Mann family situations where there is love, there will also be lots of laughter.
Check your local listings for station information in your area.

Well on his way to earning the moniker of one of the hardest working men in the business, Sunday Best Season 5 Favorite Ashford Sanders is keeping it 100. Maintaining a heavy trav
el schedule while promoting the release of his new single, Because You’ve Been Good, the Canton, Mississippi native wanted to highlight and help develop the talents of those coming behind him. His first endeavor comes off this weekend with the Mississippi Talent Showcase Finals.
“I can say the Sunday Best experience was a wonderful opportunity for me, I got a chance to meet some very talented and creative people and I thought, if these people are here, just think of the other people who are just as good (or better) and don’t venture out I was thinking of providing a vehicle that would bring people together, give them a chance to show what they got and then encourage them to reach for the sky, so the Mississippi Talent Showcase was born.”
Contestants auditioned before a panel of judges and received one on one mentoring and coaching from Sanders and other industry professionals. The March 20th event will feature performances from the 7 top finalists with the winner taking home a cash prize.

Dr. Larry Reid and the Breakthrough Singers caught our attention with Better Than Ever from his debut CD, Work Me Over. He then took his group to places near and far and developed a set of music that the group delivered during their concert performances. The music was so well received that Reid decided to press, package and deliver it to his fans. Thus, The Set was born. Led by excitement generated from the lead single Can’t Take God From Me, The Set made its debut on March 3rd and landed in the top ten on the Billboard Top Gospel Albums charts.
