NCN online broadcasts have been ‘dead’ for weeks

Dear Editor,

The NCN online radio broadcasts have been ‘dead’ for weeks. The reports that I made to the technical staff have fallen on deaf ears. One minute, the telephone provider was at fault; the other time it was technical difficulties. Guyanese, especially those residing out of Guyana depend heavily on the services of the NCN online radio of 98.1 FM and VOG. NCN has demonstrated little ability to ensure a smooth operation of this service. The comments left and frustration expressed by hundreds of disappointed listeners on the online radio website indicate how people feel since the loss of the service. The NCN staff should take it down, since it’s very embarrassing to the company, since NCN, the technical staff and even the country come in for blows from frustrated and tired listeners.
So much money for NCN and they are fighting for more, yet they cannot put back the radio stations and maintain them online – shameful indeed.
Can’t NCN and the Guyana government invest properly once and for all in a reliable NCN online radio stream? This is not good enough.

Yours faithfully,
Leon Suseran
