Zip FM's Diva Nikki Z is yet to return to the airwaves.

In a short conversation with the disc jock, whose real name is Nicole Duhaney, she said she has not been fired.

When asked about the letter to the editor published in The Gleaner
yesterday titled 'Impact of Broadcasting Commission being felt', in
which Broadcasting Commission's Executive Director Cordel Green said a
female DJ had been fired from her prime-time slot on a popular radio
station, Nikki Z said she did not know if that was referring to her as
she has not been fired.

No worries

"First, I am hearing that. But as far as my boss and I
know that is not so, but either way no worries," said Nikki Z, who is
currently off the island.

In the letter, Green said the DJ played a song on the station on December 4, which contained an expletive.

Nikki Z played Munga Honourebel's Ride It on December 4, which contained expletives.

In addition, the letter said the station's new policies require all presenters to only play music from the library.

Sufficient time

He said, "The station's morning show is now being
presented by two persons in order to allow each presenter sufficient
time to research the music, write the music sheet and ensure that it is
vetted by the programme manager."

ZJ Sparks and ZJ Rose have since been occupying Nikki Z's morning spot, which comes on air between 6 and 10 a.m.

After her suspension on December 11 Nikki Z also sent out an apology to her listeners.

Despite this, the situation has not changed. When contacted,
programmes manager for ZIP FM, D'Adra Williams, also denied any
knowledge of Nikki Z being fired from the station.

"I don't know of anything being added to the situation as before," she said.
