Trinidad Express
The Carnival parade is not being streamed on the world wide web by any local media, not even by State-owned CNMG
The National Carnival Bands Association (NCBA) yesterday moved to block the station from streaming the Parade of the Bands, without approval and without paying up, TV6 news reported last night.
The station was on the brink of streaming yesterday's parade when it was stopped by the NCBA, the TV6 report said.
note: 2/12/2013 - NCBA has set up their own stream. USTREAM has provide access to that stream - watch here

what on earth is happening with the administration of Carnival, are they ashamed of showing the vulgarity that Trinidad Carnivalhas become if that is the case then say so and do something about it, the creativity, and culture of carnival has been lost to the bead feathers, nakedness, wining,fraternity,no wonder they are not keen on this being seen world wide. Those who create these costumes and stupidly say Brazil has these same type of costumes, must know hat the brazilians donot wine and skin up like our masqueraders. on another note, the magazine that is produced after carnival is not what it was, I have collected these magazines, for years, and now all you see is the wining that goes on and no information on what the costumes are bout, OH WHAT A SHAME WE HAVE BROUGHT TO OURSELVES
I cannot believe at this modern time our Carnival is not produced like Rio , wake up i NCBA.
This is most disappointing. My wife (who is a Trini) and I were really looking forward to watching the Parade here in Hobart, Tasmania.

NCBATT stream went off the air at 4.15 today, like yesterday, without a warning. I guess MacFarland and others are not part of the association??
CARNIVAL 2013 livestream on WWW.NOYZRADIO.COM
NOYZRADIO went off the air also
Carnival seasons for the last few years have been generally peaceful ( Bandits are taking the time off to party also). This would have been an excellent time to show the world that there is still some peace and civility in the annual celebrations.
Notwithstanding marketing and promotion of the cultural celebrations and still capitalizing ....even if they allow a free show this year for marketing and promotional services and then clamp down next year after securing rights and making sure that it is available at a reasonable cost.. the point is to use the media that is available and find a way to make some revenue..it is just plain COMMON SENSE
