2009 dove award winners

Posted on April 23, 2009

UPDATE:
Did you catch last night’s Gospel Music Awards? I was all set to watch it, flipped on the TV, punched in channel 189, and got…a dark screen with some writing on it. The screen screamed at me “NOT AUTHORIZED”. Suddenly, the Gospel Music Channel is no longer a part of the basic Comcast Digital service. Grrrrr. So, I had to settle for reading the Twitter updates from the artists, which was actually pretty neat to hear/see their live view. If you’re curious to see the complete list of winners, click here. Here is the list of the “big category” winners:
