Hello Antigua & Barbuda.
It has been said that media practitioners should try their best not to be the subject of news. I will confess that this week I have failed in that regard and based on what I am about to say, it’s safe to say that I am pleased that the week is near its end.
For quite some time on and off The Hon. E.P. Chet Greene reached out to me expressing a desire for me to work with him at WTP. Even before the advent of Twin Island Media his invitations remained consistent.
Fast forward to mid-2025, those efforts bore fruit, after prolonged negotiations. The management, staff and core followers who were engaging, welcomed me with open arms and were very supportive. They made the transition very comfortable and to all of them, I express gratitude.
However, despite our best intentions, desires and efforts, my presence at WTP appeared to be an issue for some in his party. Quite frankly, it made the life of Mr. Greene – who serves as Chairman of the ABLP, increasingly difficult. As Chairman of the ruling party, it is his responsibility to ensure that there is harmony within its ranks and as such it was mutually agreed to discontinue The Sunday Forum and Antigua & Barbuda Tonight. Therefore, my last broadcast on the WTP platform was Thursday, November 6th, 2025.
All of the programs that I produced and hosted were done with the best intentions to uphold the principles of fairness and balance, to inform and enlighten. There was no such thing as perfection, but then again – that is for another realm.
I would like to thank Mr. Greene for giving me the opportunity to continue to hone my talents and to add to the national conversation with my personal style and manner. It was a learning experience.
For those who are saddened, please don’t be. A lady once said to me, one door closes – another opens and life continues with hope and promise. Be assured of that.
Big up to Ryan – The GM, my producer Daveile, CJ, DJ Virus, Kereo, Sly J, Governor Slim, Dave, Mambo and every other colleague who treated me at times like I was some sort of celebrity (no exaggeration). I am very grateful to all of you.
Thanks to the Hon. E.P. Chet Greene for believing in me, even though he knew that I was not going to be a die-hard “choir member” for the cause of his party. I appreciate his desire to be open-minded and desirous of raising the standard of the national discourse which served as the basis for my presence on WTP. It took courage, and we know that fortune eventually and always favors the brave.
As always, the conversation will continue and I look forward to doing it with all of you.
God Bless Antigua & Barbuda
