The financial crunch is on, and its impact on business means that media houses will also have challenges. A source just told me that a well-known media house is having major challenges. They are about to lose one of their executives who is related to the head. Word is that "Miss Kitty shall return."
The real bad news is that the media house and its partner are undergoing divorce proceedings, and this could impact the viability of the station.
Bark Di Trute is concerned that several media personalities have declared that the death of Buju in Montego Bay is murder. The officer has not been tried and convicted in a court of law for murder. Could this result in libel cases for some media houses? How will this affect the viability of such media houses.
I have said before that some media personalities seem to be on the same road as some of the despicable social media content creators. Fire dey a musmus tail, im tink a cool breeze.
Another station, which is a religious station, has lost a few technical persons and also members of the executive. They raise their funding through begging, and Jamaicans don't seem to be giving that much. The creditors have been keeping a close watch at the gate.
While there are financial challenges at these media houses, including a very large one, I would give the following ideas:
- Management personnel should leave broadcasting to presenters. It can create a challenge when broadcasters are competing with their bosses.
- Your talent is your product, and nothing else is. If you do not allow your product to shine, your station cannot shine.
- A degree does not make an outstanding broadcaster; it is the outstanding talent that will do the trick.
