Ragashanti ordered off air by Broadcasting Commission

[myYout]

Right!!

[Me]

Star and Buckwild have people a talk bout "******" people on them show. And you know if Ragga was in the States him would talk bout the Jew dem, suh him career woulda done right there.

[Islandman]

Sigh....you right. I was hoping for that elusive breakthrough but I guess that was too ambitious.

[Islandman]

According to Lazie, talking bout '"******" being nasty is not extreme, but aparently talking bout Chiney selling dog meat or ghetto people smelling bad is extreme. Go figure.

Well fine NNN. Put it on the management to decide if they want to fire him. Where the BC come from a insist that he be removed from the air? I guess tomorrow when dem come with a more ridiculous ruling, banning a program that 'we' like then people will realize.

Oh! Raga a Labourite! Muss dat!

[Skeng DX]

yes ragga a labourite ie FACT

n cliff hughes station is a labourite station

n ragga is on air right now, so it look like it was a rumour hear him yah http://www.telegens.com/nationwideradiojm/

[Skeng DX]

cliff hughes say that the profanity was cut out from bn broadcast on the public airwaves ie radio

but it came out over the internet ie the profanity n the broadcasting commission cannot regulate the internet

thats what they said n thr legal council advised them to cont. airing

the show

cuz they did nothing wrong

[Islandman]

Hmmm, if that is really the case then yes they seem to have a legal argument to keep him on the air. This will interesting.

At least Cliff accepts that something is wrong with broadcasting profanity over the public radio airwaves, unlike some who apparently think all censorship is bad.

hhhmmmmm. It so easy to to pull their license. I know many including myself don't like Raga and he may do what he can get away with but just ask the station fi pull the show or else they lose their license without outlining the breach or holding the station management accountable I don't think is the way to go. Can't just do it because we nuh like content and it better they go the way of fines holding the station exes responsible. Can't do it either because you get 300 complains.

[Assasin]

no it wasn't but it in the 80's it was considered a PNP song and Barry G played the Frankie Paul version I think right after a JLP ad and they just took him off the air for that.
