Could PANORAMA survive without GOVERNMENT FUNDING under the leadership of a man like KEITH DIAZ?
The Government, as Dr Rowley has correctly assessed, has no business getting involved in Carnival. State institutions do not understand the event, and their interventions have been manifestly destructive for the most part, while accidentally providing funds for small creative efforts with the back spatter of massive firehose applications of taxpayer’s money.

crime either. Cuffie says he eh communicating nutten. Marlene says she barring everybody from bars in pan yards. Pan man could roast brefoot and salt fish and sell.
Those of us overseas, would pay a reasonable fee to watch many of the shows. I believe they could easily make the monies for panorama. The problem is, do they know how to deliver a technologically clean show to the world? A few years ago, I watched a digitally clean panorama, only to fall back to regular low definition TV. Not the way to go.
Bertel apparently the funding will last, if not forever, for a very long time. Should any politician attempt to cut off the funding of Panorama, they will be committing political suicide.
The steelband community straddles, all classes and races.
You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT, Robert. We will die and THE GOVERNMENT will still be FUNDING CARNVIAL. Rowley pulled a nice little bluff and got people falling for it.
Panorama without government funding will not survive no matter who heads PanTrinbago.
Presently, PanTrinbago does not have a business model to generate the funds required.
After all these years, this is sad to say. So they really thought this funding would have lasted forever?? Thats thinking ahead fuh yuh!
