Faith-based, inspirational radio program "The Donnie McClurkin Show," hosted by singer, minister and producer Donnie McClurkin, outperformed all other formats in two major markets, New York and Philadelphia. According to the PPM ratings for July 2015 in adults 25-54, McClurkin's show scored a 12.5 share Emmis-owned WBLS-FM/New York from 5-6am in July and a 11.6 share in August.

For both months, the double-digit shares were the highest on WBLS in any hour from 5am-12 midnight weekdays. WBLS/WLIB OM Skip Dillard said, "Donnie has the #1 radio program in its time slot in the entire New York radio market. The current ratings are the highest that I have ever seen. Donnie is number one by a large margin because it is a great show."

In July, WDAS-FM/Philadelphia tied for the #1 share in the 5am hour, grabbing a 10.1 share.

Syndicator Westwood One said in a release, "To be a #1 show on an Urban station is close to impossible. To be a #1 inspirational show is virtually unheard of in the radio industry and defies all odds. McClurkin does it with masterful ease and armed with a flock that follows him in on site, on air, and online. McClurkin's Facebook page has more than two million "likes" and he has nearly a half million Twitter followers."
