Vaz to respond to Nationwide licensing issue

[Lazie]

Information Minister Daryl Vaz is expected to address concerns raised by the People's National Party (PNP) regarding the licensing of the Nationwide News Network (NNN) at the Post Cabinet Press briefing now underway at Jamaica House.

Opposition spokesperson on information Lisa Hanna wants Mr. Vaz to sanction the radio station for breaching the broadcasting law.

According to Ms. Hanna, the Cliff Hughes led media house has been broadcasting without the required license.

Nationwide is now transmitting on the 90.7 FM band.

But the Broadcasting Commission says it has only given the news network permission for test transmissions under the Telecommunications Act.

Ms. Hanna says this has serious implications, as person offended by material aired by Nationwide will not be able to seek recourse from the Broadcasting Commission.

It's against this background that Ms. Hanna is calling for immediate steps to be taken for Nationwide to be licensed or taken off the air.

said of the woman to each his own though.

Mi done, no more Lisa H.

[Mosiah]

Good! Cah mi know when you ready fi stalk di brownin dem...

[Jawge]

so mi ah stalker now? I tell how it
hard fi ah black brother bout yah. Back in slavery days a black man could not even look at a white woman (he would be whipped and lynched)

The same is practiced in modern times under a different guise. All said and done: I am married to beautiful nubian, who recently gave me two nice sons. Praise Jah, I could not ask for more.

Such as empowering cooperate Jamaica to provide mentorship for young urban women to be involved in positive aspect of the media. That is a program I would like to see worked on. I am aware of some of her community work but it needs to be highlighted at the national level. (what did you think I was talking about jwage).... I have the utmost respect for Ms. Hanna.
