THE NATIONAL Communications Network (NCN) will have a booth at GuyExpo 2012 as an official exhibitor, according to Acting Chief Executive Officer of NCN Michael Gordon. NCN will also be officially introducing 100.1 FRESH FM to patrons at GuyExpo 2012, and as such would be broadcasting live from the Exhibition Centre. In an exclusive interview with this newspaper at the Sophia Exhibition Centre yesterday, where the NCN management team was having a planning meeting, Gordon said that he thinks this is the first time that a radio studio would be set up in a trade exhibition anywhere in the Caribbean. He said that it is customary for there to be an outdoor broadcast, but this is surely a first for Guyana.
Gordon added, “NCN has been attracting a lot of attention lately and lots of that attention is not necessarily a reflection of who we are and what we do. NCN has approximately 160 extremely hard-working staff, most of whom are not seen nor heard. Lots of the effort that go into the daily workings of NCN is also not seen by the public, hence we found it necessary to showcase what we do to the Guyanese public”.
Mr. Gordon opined that he believes NCN is a significant broadcaster in the Caribbean, and Guyanese should be proud of the nation’s national broadcaster.
100.1 FRESH FM is not a new station but a newly rebranded frequency. It will begin broadcasting from the Sophia Exhibition Centre on the opening day of GuyExpo. This station, formerly known as Radio Roraima (RR), has been in existence for about 25 years. One source close to NCN said this is not the first time that NCN would have a presence at GuyExpo, but this year the newly rebranded 100.1 FRESH FM would be broadcasting from there for the entire duration of the trade show.
The NCN booth is presently being constructed in front of the building that housed the National Association of Regional Chambers of Commerce of Guyana.
