Leslie Sobers

The response to an ad by the Guyana National Broadcasting Authority (GNBA) for 12 broadcasters, including the state-owned National Communications Network (NCN), to make urgent contact because they failed to stick to the agreement on how they will pay over $100 million owed for broadcast rights, has been “heartening,” board chairman Leslie Sobers has said.

The list of broadcasters, which was published yesterday in the state-owned Guyana Chronicle, comprised Go-Tech/ Iramco Guyana Limited, Infinity Telecommunications Inc, E3 Communications, Bartica Communications Network Inc, Linden Wireless Telecommunications Network, Ang Inc, WRHM Inc, Tarzie Transmission Service, Rambarran Broadcasting Systems, Countrywide Broadcasting Inc, and CNS Inc.

Some paid deposits and entered into agreement while others paid substantial sums, Sobers told Stabroek News yesterday afternoon.
