REGGAE FANS AND ARTISTS AGAINST KISS FM’S DJ DAVID RODIGANS RESIGNATION OVER REGGAE 'MARGINALISATION'
The Petition
http://www.rodigan.com/
DJ DAVID RODIGAN has resigned from his position as a
broadcaster on Kiss FM. He has been with
station for 22 years, shared some wonderful times with many fantastic artists
and members of staff and its with great sadness that he has come to this
decision. Due to their continued marginalisation of reggae music into the
twilight zone of radio scheduling, it has left him no option but to make a
stand for his passion and the music he loves so dearly.
As Bob Marley famously said “the stone that the builder
refused will be the head corner stone.” Reggae was originally played on the
streets, not on radio, and Kiss’ refusal to schedule the only reggae show on
their network to a socially accessible time has resulted in this decision.
Reggae is worthy of more respect and so are the fans and lovers of this music.
