Reactions to the recent ban on violent content over Jamaican airwaves and TV. In addition, some alternatives for reducing crime are offered, and a short list of quality new music releases. Does Dancehall Have A Devastating Love Affair With Violence?Jamaica's broadcasting regulator has banned all music and television broadcasts it perceives as glorifying criminal activity, drug use, weapons, or scamming. According to the Jamaican government, the goal is to reduce material that “could give the wrong impression that criminality is an accepted feature of Jamaican culture and society.” The ban comes after Jamaican authorities have battled rising gun violence rates, pushing the country's murder rate to the highest of any nation in the Caribbean and Latin America in 2021. The ban also avoids “urban slang” related to lavish lifestyles, acquiring money, or making wire transfers.In Jamaica, the Broadcasting Commission is the regulatory body established to control media in the country. The Commission outlines its primary purpose as to serve as a regulator that leads and facilitates the development and advancement of a dynamic electronic communication sector for the benefit of Jamaica and the Caribbean. Broadcast laws are established, and media entities are expected to follow the regulations outlined. Not following them could lead to sanctions and penalties.Resources:https://www.thedailybeast.com/jamaica-bans-music-and-tv-that-glorifies-crimehttps://waccglobal.org/tensions-between-media-censorship-and-regulation-in-jamaica/Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week, we dedicated the programme to one of the Isle of Man's best-known and most respected broadcasters. It was announced on Thursday (7 Nov) that Roger Watterson had passed away, at the age of 77. Roger's involvement with Manx Radio began in 1974, when he co-authored a report into the station. He was elected to the House of Keys in 1976, and appointed to the Broadcasting Commission and the Manx Radio Management Committee. He served one term, in Middle, between 1976 and 1981. On-air, he will be best remembered as the voice of Sunday Opinion and the Mannin Line on Manx Radio for 27 years from 1992. Perhaps fittingly, Andy Wint broke the news on the Mannin Line on Thursday - we hear that moment, as well as a chat with Roger's widow, Gwen, and his namesake Juan Watterson SHK live on the programme. There's also an extended chat with former colleagues of Roger's, Charlie Webster and James Davis, plus Roger's final appearance on radio - a guest appearance on Sarah Hendy’s ‘The Power of Radio’ programme from earlier this year. A service to celebrate his life will be held at 12:45pm on Thursday, 14 November at St Ninian's Church in Douglas, followed by private cremation.
On this episode, Ari, Naro and Javi discuss how long should one wait when pursuing a widow and the dangers of toxic masculinity on the back of Kodak Black's insensitive Lauren London comments and Nipsey Hussle's murder. The crew also tackles the news of Sumfest head Joe Bogdanovich promising that Dalton Harris will need no extra security at the event and the Broadcasting Commission working with Facebook & YouTube to regulate content.
