The show, which reaches approximately 94 million TV households with each broadcast, also airs via domestic syndication, on ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, WB and UPN network affiliated stations.

The three-hour nightly recording sessions will feature a gospel smorgasbord of music, dance, theater, and everything in between. “Attendees will experience Gospel meets Broadway," says Dr. Cartwright. "Gospel Superfest will have an entertainment feel, but it is ministry, and it is God's word through song."
