    RJR shuts down AM, Nationwide goes off air

    Published: Tuesday | March 31, 2009

    The RJR Communications Group pulled the plug on its AM frequency yesterday, effectively yanking the Cliff Hughes-led Nationwide News Network off the air.

    "Radio Jamaica Limited wishes to advise that, with effect from Monday afternoon March 30, 2009, it will cease operation of the RJR AM service," the group said in a short statement yesterday.

    "Nationwide Radio, which had been heard on the service will no longer be available through the RJR AM band. The decision has been made after extensive discussions with the operators of the service during the past two years concerning the financial viability of the service."
    The statement was issued minutes after the station stopped transmitting in the middle of Nationwide's flagship newscast at 5 p.m.
    "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

          When the gospel is preached to one's liking dem question the messenger's credibility. No surprises there, unuh is a different set.

              Just keeping it real. Nationwide News Network was the only media house brave enough to expose the squatter that was sitting in Parliament. You hold the Sunday Herald to a higher standard that the rest, yet you tip toed around the fact they refused to run the story that their own reporter wanted to run.
