Dear Editor,
In 2010, a few months before the start of the World Cup games in South Africa, the residents of Dublin Castle in Gordon Town, St Andrew, suddenly stopped receiving signal for CVM TV. A public service announcement informed us that they were upgrading their transmission system. Well, subsequent to the ‘upgrade’ we have not been able to view CVM TV.
To this day, there has been no change in this situation. CVM have been buying rights to air shows like the recent Gibson Relays and the upcoming World Cup games, etc knowing full well that many Jamaicans are unable to watch them due to lack of signal in these areas. Why not try and fix the problem so all Jamaican can have access. CVM-TV is no longer a “baby” to television, after all they are 23 years old.
Another World Cup is almost here again, and we all are not feeling the rhythm. I am told that CVM is an acronym which means “Community Television Systems Limited, Videomax Limited and Mediamix Limited”. However, they are not living up to the “C” in their name, because some communities are left with a blank screen.
