Well, the Broadcasting Commission says it will take a serious look at the use of bleeps. On Monday (19/01/09) Dr. Hopeton Dunn, Chairman of the Broadcasting Commission explains to IRIE FM’s news that some media houses have not been managing the issue.He adds that the Broadcasting Commission will be looking to establish a citizens based monitoring programme.

But how realistic is the Broadcasting Commission's goal to stop the playing of music that has bleeps or edits? How should radio disc jocks in breach of playing bleeps and edits be dealt with? How should the Broadcasting Commission go about implementing this? What consequences should a radio station in breach undergo?
