America Stands & Revival Radio TV Receive Telly Awards
Kenneth Copeland Ministries took top industry honors in the 38th annual Telly Awards for its live coverage of the 2016 presidential election, and "Revival Radio TV," a weekly program on the Believer’s Voice of Victory Network that focuses on the history of revivals throughout the world. The program examines the role of the believer during this last Great Awakening.
"America Stands: Election Coverage in the Spirit of Faith" received bronze Telly Awards in two categories: religious/spiritual programming and live events. It was the first time KCM broadcasted live election coverage on TV. Coverage has been provided before over the internet, but never on television, and across all KCM outlets. The broadcast, which was viewed as a Christian alternative to election coverage provided by network and cable TV, was also carried live by Daystar® and other Christian networks. "America Stands 2016" was one of the most-watched broadcasts on election night, and one of the first programs across any medium to accurately project the presidential race.
The program included several special guests throughout the evening, including some of our nation’s foremost political and spiritual leaders. Among those joining Kenneth Copeland and hosts George and Terri Pearsons in three studios on the property of KCM and Eagle Mountain International Church were David Barton, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and Bishop Keith Butler, as well as the America Stands team. A 48-hour call to prayer preceded the broadcast and continued throughout the evening.
"Revival Radio TV," hosted by Dr. Gene Bailey, was awarded two Tellys, including the highly coveted silver award in the category of secular history for an entry, titled "BE the ONE," and a bronze award for religious/spiritual programming. The entries featured a “Historian’s Roundtable” that included guests Doug Bonner, Linda Schulz Lane and Greg Stephens, as well as an interview with Pastor Rick Renner. V
