Changes At Flow935 Should Be A Wake Up Call

CTV has started its transformation of radio station Flow 93.5. Gone are Soca Therapy and Riddim Track along with the possibility of some of our fav. radio hosts. However, those directing hate to Flow935, your anger is in the wrong place. Direct it towards parent company CTV. I doubt Flow935 had any choice once CTV came down with the decision. Put the blame where it deserves to be. I'm sure that all Flow935 radio hosts are not happy with this decision. This radio station truly brought multicultural vibe to mainstream radio in the Toronto area.

Caribbean culture influences this city from Caribana to its urban/hip hop scene, sad to see that its not corporately supported. How do you change this? as a culture and a movement, come together and bring positive vibes. If someone is doing something big, don't hate or get jealous, that thinking will take us backwards as a culture and a community. Support your brothers and sisters, improve upon the product and show the world there is value in what we represent, from our music, to food to culture. When we start to do this, then and only then will we be noticed as a movement and picked up by the mainstream in areas outside of the Caribbean.

Let me know your thoughts and what you think about either the changes at Flow 93.5 and/or what it means to be of Caribbean decent in Toronto and/or any other area outside the Caribbean.
