New regulations governing air play of music on IRIE FM, have been announced as of May 13, 2008.
Effective immediately artistes who include explicit lyrics or indecent language in previously clean pre released singles on CD`s or other released music, will be facing a media black out by the company.
In a press release the company notes that disc jockeys and presenters are being put in embarra**ing and awkward situations, where clean pre releases being played by them for as long as up to six months, are released on CD`s and albums with indecent language and/or explicit lyrics added.
The company points out that in such situations the presenter or DJ is usually broadsided on air, since they know the song well, they may have been playing it for many months and accepted the released version in good faith.
The company cites a recent incident in which one presenter was caught unaware after a song which she had been playing for over two months was included on the artiste's newly released album, with indecent language added that violates the Children's Code for Programming and the Television and Sound Broadcasting Regulations, 1996.
The new regulations which will see artistes being removed from all IRIE FM playlists takes effect today.
