We are lobbying for no less than 30% local and the same percentage for regional music on the radio. Not just more music but as many genres as possible.
70-80% of music reported played in Barbados is not local or regional. Supporting your local music industry means supporting your cultural industries and economic development.
The radio stations continue to ignore our cultural identity while they drown out our artists with foreign content. I am currently mapping out a plan to confront the broadcasting authority directly because their silence on this economic neglect is loud enough already.

The radio stations and media conglomerates are finally starting to feel the heat from our demand for real local representation. They have ignored our artists and our culture for far too long while profiting off foreign content that erases our identity.
