One of the first shows announced is “Good News with Greg Davis” which will air Monday through Saturday at 5:00 pm EST. the show will include a variety of news, talk, empowerment and more. Davis formerly was host of “Rejoice in the Word” but resigned from that show a few weeks ago. Segments of Davis’ new show will be taped at various conventions and conferences and studios.
