Premier Dr. Ewart Brown has described the excitement of being in Bermuda for Cup Match on radio show The Urban Journal.

The XM Satellite Radio programme was broadcast on Thursday and Friday from the Fairmont Hamilton Princess and featured several contributors discussing their Cup Match experiences. Guests included Minister of Social Rehabilitation Dale Butler, US Consul Margaret Pride, performer Nadanja Bailey, Tobacco Bay representative Amelia Heath and Gosling's brand manager Andrew Holmes. The programme can be heard online at: www.theurbanjournal.org

Today, the Premier takes to the airwaves once more as a guest on The Steve Harvey Show, which is broadcast across the US. He will discuss the upcoming attractions of the Bermuda Music Festival.

Dr. Brown will also address US golf writers at the PGA Championship's media reception in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Friday. He will discuss the Island's role as the host for the PGA Grand Slam of Golf. The winner of the PGA Championship will be the fourth professional golfer to take part in the tournament at the Mid Ocean Golf Club on October 15-17.

The Premier said of the recent media buzz: "The attention being placed on Bermuda right now is no coincidence. It is the result of strong tourism numbers built by hard-working Bermudians. These media organisations are interested in Bermuda tourism because there is resurgence in the industry and the world is taking notice."
