Radio Caribbean International (RCI) sounded ready to go full steam ahead on Thursday evening, with the launch of its Rebranding Event at the 5th Floor Compass Meeting Room at Harbor Club. But question marks loomed over the unexplained absence of its biggest personality and the helming of his highly popular show Newsspin by Earl Huntley.
The rebrand came ahead of the station’s 58th anniversary on February 21, replete with a new logo, website and on-air content. But just one day later the station confirmed its hottest show would be no more. Just like that, after some 20 successful years, there would be no more Newsspin.
Managing director Tamara Gibson yesterday told the STAR that Poleon’s programme was “one of those we are rebranding to suit the personalities of new hosts. We’re actually working on it at the moment.” She added that yesterday’s Newsspin, which concentrated on cricket, will be the last aired over RCI.
As for the host who would be Timothy Poleon—Earl Huntley—Gibson said he would not be brought back to host Newsspin’s replacement. “That is not the intention,” Gibson told this reporter. “We haven’t settled on an actual host but it’s not going to be Earl Huntley.” But he would be “assisting during the transition”.
