Broadcasting Commission: No legal basis for intervention in commercial agreements between content owners and programme distributors

The media watchdog agency the Broadcasting Commission of Jamaica (BCJ) says it has launched an advertising campaign focusing on the protection of children against harmful content, as well as antipiracy and payola.

Students from select schools will be establishing radio clubs and radio stations in their institutions, under phase three of the Broadcasting Commission of Jamaica’s (BCJ) Media Literacy Project.

Executive Director of the Broadcasting Commission of Jamaica (BCJ), Cordel Green, in his address to sixth form students of Glenmuir High School in Clarendon on Tuesday, February 19 ,said they should seek to be “uploaders rather than downloaders” of content.

“When you see the ratings, don’t ignore them, because there are people, who have done studies on these things,” said the organisation’s Executive Director, Cordel Green during a presentation at the Mona High School in St. Andrew on Tuesday, February 5.
