Arthur Dash - Trinidad Newsday
I wondered whether TUCO would be able to afford live broadcasts when the private owner calls his price.
Witness what is happening to our calypso tents. Would we ever see the steelband Panorama live again and whether Pan Trinbago could afford when the private owner calls his price?
We are well aware of what became of Scouting for Talent and Aunty Hazel’s Twelve and Under. They disappeared because of lack of sponsorship.

In the electronic class-room, videos like this can be used to educate young musicians in planning, producing and creating musical products. Discussions would/could help inspire others striving for EXCELLENCE. TTT has a responsibility as CONTENT provider.

"TTT has a responsibility as CONTENT provider."
"I recently read a letter to the editor calling for the State to give up television since no-one watches TTT, that it was a drain on the treasury and that it was being used only for state propaganda."
Consider modifying the programming format...to attract more viewership.
Music videos in this playlist can be used to educate and inform.
Unfortunately sir, the matter of TTT transcends the issues highlighted by both yourself and the originator of this discussion. A recently shared bio of the late great Ellis "Puss" Achong, triggered sentiments of anguish and grief at the inefficiency that reigns at TTT by state appointed decision makers. The following is a screenshot of what I refer :to:
Here's a producer who took ownership of his work and created VALUE as musical products.
