NOTEWORTHY TESTIMONIALS

Donnie McClurkin is consistently one of the highest-rated shows on WBLS. Donnie is a significant and sponsorable brand who inspires and entertains with unmatched creativity and production value. It’s the perfect daily lead-in to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Donnie’s content is simply can’t miss programming every single broadcast day. The WBLS listeners love to listen to Donnie to start off their day and they also engage with him across all his media platforms. When Donnie does an event for us and he has done many, he graciously extends himself spending extra time speaking one on one with all his fans. I remember one time when security even had to escort everyone out as it was so late after the event yet Donnie was still there connecting with all his passionate listeners. It’s no wonder the Donnie McClurkin radio program is #1 in NYC!
