GNP has been built with the potential of becoming the next CNN/CBS. The difference is focus- ours is only Good News and Good Solutions. In fact, Ted Turner was one of the first patrons of our not-for-profit arm. The world is in need of a station that has only Good News and a positive outlook. “All we are is what we are for each other” is our motto. Up-Beat instead of Beat UP!
