We can't see the logics behind this one, but it seems that ZIP 103 FM has issued a two weeks suspension for a retroactive breach of the broadcast standards of the station and the Broadcasting Commission Regulations and Code.
According to information reaching the offices of 876radio.com, the station suspended ZJ Liquid whose real name is Michael Brissett for material that went on air during his 'Fresh to Death Wednesdays' segment on November 7, 2007.
Apparently one of his CDs had material including expletives and sexually explicit material that should not have been aired.
The Broadcasting Commission wrote to Grove Broadcasting Corporation, operators of ZIP 103 FM advising that the broadcast contravened the television and sound broadcasting regulations and the children's code for programming.
Grove Broadcasting is complying with a set of conditions set down by the Broadcasting Commission and at the same time has suspended ZJ Liquid.
The station has also worked out a set of procedures for DJ's including prohibiting the use of their personal laptops and other material from being directly connected with that of the station.
Of course the question begs how did the Commission miss this infringement and why wait until three months later to impose the sanction. Late last night we ventures on the streets of the city to get some thoughts from listeners of the station and in the words of one faithful female fan "A wah duh dem people deh, ah weh dem wha mi go duh listen FAME.. dem betta just try hurry up and put on back mi baby cause a him alone mek mi listen duh station deh and some time Nikki-Z wid har suss...tell me a who dweet mek mi call up deh now...cause dem too brite". Needless to say we were unable to supply her with that information.
Others had a different view and said the commission had done the right thing as standards must be maintained. However to each his own and we the family of 876radio.com would just like to say "Liquid we look forward to seeing you in two week".
