News: Irie Ban Stands

IT'S BEEN six months since Irie FM decided to implement a ban on all songs containing beeps to conceal curse words, and from the looks of things, they are sticking to their guns.
Brian Schmidt, marketing manager at Irie FM, says since they ceased playing songs with beeps they have not had any negative reactions from the public.

"So far, so good. Everyone has been really positive. People will see us on the road and say that it is one of the best things that we could have done and it is about time that someone took a stand," said Schmidt.

Schmidt also said deejays would be less accepting than the singers about the ban.
Reggae artiste, Natty King, known for his song No Guns to Town, says the ban is a step forward.
