Grant TUCO radio licence now

THE EDITOR: Kindly allow me to appeal to the relevant authority who is responsible for granting a licence to the Trinbago Unified Calypsonians Organisation for the establishment of a radio station.

These proposals have been sitting in one of your cabinets for a very long time. It would appear to me that it is a cause of out of sight out of mind. In light of the present radio stations not playing more of local music, TUCO has decided to take up the challenge to address the above situation, by the establishment of its own radio station. This station project will also provide a positive income for our organisation as we work consistently to become self reliant and self sufficient. In addition to the above, the project will address in a very meaningful way, the lack of community education in areas of History, Social Studies, Lan-guage/Literature and Folk Traditions of the regions. I therefore kindly request that the authorities stop sticking and have the TUCO proposals on their desks for positive action as soon as possible.
Please allow history to absolve you, sirs/madams.
Yours in culture.
