Talk show host 'Ragashanti Live' ordered off Jamaican airwaves

















The Broadcasting Commission of Jamaica has directed the management of Nationwide News Network (NNN) Limited to immediately discontinue transmission of the radio programme 'Ragashanti Live' in its current daytime slot.

The station has also been required to take the necessary steps to bring its programming into conformity with its public service broadcasting licence and the applicable broadcasting regulations.


The Broadcasting Commission issued the directive after receiving numerous public complaints over the last two months and following its own review of NNN's programming during the period February 7 to March 2, 2011.

As a result, Nationwide News Network Limited has been cited by the Commission for at least 18 serious breaches of its licence and of the broadcasting regulations.

On January 13, 2011 NNN was cited for broadcasting graphic sexual content and content that was not suitable for transmission or broadcast at any time. The station committed similar serious breaches on January 20, 2011 by transmitting an expletive on the airwaves during its “Lunch-time” programme.

In addition, a succession of some 15 serious breaches of the regulations and of its licence was found between February 7 and March 2, 2011.

The programme host of Ragashanti Live was found to regularly engage in and encourage callers to voice scandalous, derogatory and insulting remarks which, according to the regulations, should not be transmitted from any sound broadcasting facilities of radio licensees "at any time".

The programme was also found to be largely dedicated to explicit and detailed discussions by the host and by some callers of adult sexual activity and situations, unsuitable for unencrypted daytime listening, especially by children.

    I think the reason why you folks are happy the show is off the airwaves is because you are in fear that your business(nastiness) was going to be exposed. Many of you act so high and mighty and there is alot of cobwebs in your filthy closets and I will say that without apology

    think the broadcast commission should be investigated for allowing his programs (in there different forms) on air for so long. It is pure rubbish and an obvious indication of how far the moral values have declined in Jamaica. If this was the 80's or early 90's the streets would be blocked. however we have become tolerant to every thing and allow anyone with a twisted view to pollute our society in the name of making a "buck", the share holders and board of directors who own these eneties need to be identified and exposed. They parade themselves through society as men and women of character however they allow these moral merceneries (persons who sell out their value to the highest bidder) to use the airwaves to create society where the upcoming generation loses its mental innocence by age 4. Why? Because of market share! How can your company or brand be associated with such garbage and you do nothing!

He further said that approximately 20 of those are already married.
