where do you all get this bs. the promoters of obsession are trying a thing - they, in collision with hitz fm are promoting a number of artists that they never booked (and in many cases never even spoke to)! it is my understanding that it wasn't until mid last week the promoters contacted the manager of destra to even do the show - some 2 weeks or so after the promotion had begun advertising her. does that sound like a credible promotion. further, a number of local artists have been included in the promotion who also had not been contacted prior to the commencement of the promotion - do your research it wont take long. also, h2o was held on june 6th, with the promotion starting some 3 weeks before - i dont think the obsession event had even been conceptualized at that point - so how could we have deliberately targeted denise belfon so as to sabotage them. it is true that a member of the CBA asked whether hot97 was interested in doing an event on this night to which we replied that we didnt think it was financially feasible. That belief still stands - and i believe it is probably now shared by the promoters of the show.

guys, i know you are looking for the silver bullet to put 97 to bed but it isnt there - all you will find is good radio programming, the very best radio announcers & djs and a healthy desire to compete.

bless

patches never had any contact with us (97) regarding his or our show, or anything else for that matter. cdc were aware of the h2o date since they were requested by the national sports council to sanction the event. it should also be noted that a hitz fm dj had a free event in argyle featuring the soca dans on the same night. how come "yes wi can" forgot to mention that?

again, more hate, more bs from those who should know better - who if they spent less time being malicious would achieve more.

LMAO. Luke me hear was made aware by the promoters of Obsession to bring Destra. The agent they were working through told them she was available but they couldn't promote her until after Wet Fete. It is afterwards that they were told by the booking agent in Miami that Lukey secured a contract with Destra that stipulated that she could not perform here in SVG 3 months after Wet Fete, which he neglected to tell the Obsession promoters.

Dat is why 2Kool was saying all along she aint coming. Healthy competition? LMAO. Anyway, hasn't the Brewery done the free moonlight event annually on the same nite of Wet Fete? Since when did it become a Hitz dj's event?

And didn't that event follow on the 97 and Brewery Soca Train FREE event with Destra in Georgetown on the same nite of Hitz FM's carib beer Soca Swing? Didn't that 97 Alliance try to have that same FREE event at Arnos Vale 2 to attempt to buss Hitz FM, but was told by the CDC to have it at Georgetown to keep the competition "healthy"?

Well the tables turn.. is now 97 and Carib and Brewery having the same event but is Hitz fault? LMAO. Imagine Bing advertising Fire Fete on 97, the healthy competitor and 2Kool giving negative vibes bout the show ON AIR. Imagine Bing have to write letter to Lukey to complain bout un-healthy competition. Imagine that....

Oh yes, I forget, 97 loves carnival...

"Yes Wi Can" do you mind if we call you Dick (just as an abbreviation, of course). I suppose we blocked Allison Hinds & Denise as well as Destra. Your irrationality is beyond belief, as is your hypocrisy. Dick, what is your excuse for money being taken for something that wasn't going to happen. Dick, I suppose somehow 97 is responsible, eh!

And for the record when we face competition we dont run to CDC for protection we put our heads down and get on with it.

Dick, your comprehension of the english language is poor. Irony is to convey a meaning opposite to its literal meaning as in "I suppose we blocked Allison Hinds & Denise as well as Destra".

You knew it was highly likely none of the artists would be performing yet you continued to promote the show as if all was well, you even had announced on your station that the artists were here! Did you ever ask for any proof from the promoter that the artists were going to be here - i think you were so glad to be associated with a show you overlooked even the most basic scrutiny of the event or the characters involved. Such actions set back the whole promotional industry in svg.

As usual apart from innuendo and gossip you have nothing to contribute.

I Personally am a huge Fireman fan, not so much soca dans. In my opinion the way fireman and the soca dans portrayed themselves last carnival was uncalled for and was just them expressing their bitterness, however what they did can not be justified and it will never be right. They are not the first artiste to mess up and they won´t be the last, they will however have to deal with the consequences of their actions.
They chose to behave in a certain manner and as much as I love me some Fireman music they just have to deal with the actions taken by hot97.
What we fail to realise is that no one goes into business to fail. Hot 97 is a privatley owned enterprise and every business' objective is profit. Apart from the shows held on a yearly basis, one of hot97's main source of income is from advertising. Now if their advertisers have a problem with the soca dans then it is only obvious that hot97 will have to take a stand not to loose these advertisers, these people have to sign contracts and they have to stick to them.
It's only business and I would have done the same thing if it were my radio station. Those who have a problem listening to Skinny and Problem over and over on this radio station have the choice to listen to another station. I am listening to hot97 almost everyday and it's really hard to change the station when they are soo entertaining, when I do get a chance to switch I am still not impressed with what I'm hearing from Fire and the others.
Hot97 decisions are not out of hate or spite for any artiste, but merely business decisiones. Don't know why we are getting all personal and trying to bash djs etc.
A similar incident occured a few years back with madzart and bomani and I'm hearing their music today on this station, so sorry soca dans but ya'll are just going to have to wait this one out until Hot97 decides that it's not going to be a loss for them by playing your music or it's been said that an apology was made, maybe it was not good enough, you can't be wrong and strong, if the apology was not heard do it again, maybe hot 97 was NOT the only business place offended or affected by your behaviour.
Still would prefer to hear everyone's music on the radio without having to switch but you've made your beds lie in them!
Big up fire still!! Thats me boy but wrong is wrong.

people keep talking about it being a business.......if they play the soca dans music how is it making them lose money??????how is it that they are not making money. Have any business place told them that if they play the soca dans songs that they will not advertise on hot97........people the issue is petty and personal and that is the bottom line. stop trying to justify what they did it is petty and it will always be petty case closed
