David is returning to the airwaves because you refused to let his legacy be pushed aside. I honestly never thought a simple inquiry would turn into such a powerful movement but you proved that this music belongs on the main stage. Thank you for showing everyone exactly how much this …

REGGAE FANS AND ARTISTS AGAINST KISS FM’S DJ DAVID RODIGANS RESIGNATION OVER REGGAE 'MARGINALISATION'
Final supporters
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.

I started this because I felt like I was the only one frustrated by the lack of respect for reggae on the airwaves. Seeing so many others feel the same way has been completely overwhelming and I really need to thank you all for confirming that this music deserves so much better.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people have come forward to defend the music we love. This momentum is proof that your passion for reggae is far stronger than any radio scheduling decision.

total disrespect to the culture. glad he walked.
Rodigan = Reggae. Shame on you Kiss.
Without Rodigan there is no point listening to Kiss. Used to be my go to station but not anymore.
Ridiculous decision by Kiss fm. Reggae deserves way more respect than a graveyard slot. BRING HIM BACK!
Rodigan is a legend. 22 years of service and they do him like this? Absolute joke.

Been listening since the 90s and this is just typical corporate nonsense. Reggae needs to be played when people are actually awake.
