Radio 94.1 FM: Suspensions not because of PM

[plex]

Vice President of Operations at 94.1 FM O’Brian Haynes says the radio station did not suspend a newscaster and an announcer because Prime Minister Patrick Manning lodged a complaint.

Haynes said the men were suspended because they conducted themselves unprofessionally, and veered from the established format during a newscast at its Abercromby Street, Port-of-Spain, station.

During a telephone interview, yesterday, Haynes said:

“A lot has been said about it. People are saying they were suspended because the PM made a report. That is not so. They both broke protocol over the manner in which the radio station delivers the news.

“We never supported the delivery of news with commentary and opinion.

“We were especially concerned about commentary that is highly-opinionated, since it taints the integrity of the newscast.

“We took action—disciplinary action—based on that premise,â€

If it were unprofessional, they should fire ALL the announcers on 94.1 with immediate effect.

PM Manning, you a truly a skunt.

[crazybalhead]

I think some of those fellas on 94.1 barely literate yes. Men does be using real green verbs, making up words and thing.

[Skanky]

These made up words are what become part of our youths' vocabulary...words like gunta etc come from radio as far as I can tell.

Chavez Bans Simpsons, Brings in Baywatch Babes

Hugo Chavez has bumped pudgy Homer Simpson from Venezuela's airwaves, reports the Times of London, opting instead for the decidedly more fit and furry David Hasselhoff. The dysfunctional Simpsons were deemed "inappropriate" for kiddies watching the morning TV lineup, but were replaced with the entirely, er, wholesome "Baywatch Hawaii."

“It had to be taken off,â€

[- Rovin's car audio -]

who listens to that sheit station anyways ...

[[X]~Outlaw]

manning is a facking kant

[snowman]

[Sky]

The demographic on this forum's really funny
Just now I'll hear the DJ's form Beetham and are criminals.
Some of you here would get a beating for saying the same things elsewhere, and not because of attacking the PM y'know, but for the hate you spew. I not backing the PM, he a kant, but allyuh does always like to go too far. Real Courage in a forum, but I bet is silence in the street.

Explicitly speaking of killing Government officials online (or anyone for that matter) should be considered a crime IMHO and treated as evidence if taken to court!

Damn right

It's terrorism and treason if you ask me

Ppl always talk about how backward TnT is, how much better it is in the "First World" but if we were REALLY to begin living like the first world, alot of individuals on this site would be locked up and under serious investigation.

Being "BLACK LISTED" in first world countries is a very serious thing.

I would love to see you guys go on vacation, log on and start saying the same things you say while online in T'nT, up here! I guarantee you, you won't make it back to Trini.

[foss]

[pugboy]

well the demographics are them dj's does promote that stupid style of wearing jeans slack off backside and have to keep pulling it up to prevent the jeans from falling down
the fellas who hangout outside 96.1 on tragarete road wear the same style too

[slick]

Manning and Jerry Narace get pwned today on Crime Watch
Never knew that show was so informative

[skylinechild]

freedom of speech......didnt know we was america...lol....

it's called the freedom of expression in whatever manner we choose be it vocal musical or written....

and i have listened to 94.1fm.....and the broadcast codes were broken long before manning ever got involved....

so yes it was true....manning did get them suspended.....but say the truth...they attack him and make the big "gunta"feel like a lil boy in he barber shop....so to retain the "gunta crown" he had to go speeding into POS to make the complain.....and to get them suspended......

lesson learned "doh mess with the big gunta when he liming with he homies in sando takin a haircut"......otherwise he will race to your location and talk to your manager......lol...
