CBK to Address the Nation |
I'm pissed off because my show for tonight just got pulled off air.
The President is going to 'address the nation' tonight at 6.30. Just got the call from the station. So my show's one of those which have been axed to H.E. Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunge time to tell the people what she is going to do now that the JVP has left her ruling coalition.
The two channels run by Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation (SLRC), Rupavahini and ChannelEYE will brodacast the speech on TV while all the stations run by the Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation (SLBC) will do radio broadcasts of the speech. Sources at the President's office (who I got in touch partly for information and partly to scream at for getting my show cancelled) told me that they are trying to see if at least a few of the private broadcasters will want to relay the speech. Isn't that what happens in other countries when the head of the state wants to address the nation.
Anyways, let's see how things go. I will take notes and uploads little bits from what she says when possible. Let's see where she wants to take the Joint Mechanism and this country.

She didn't start it at 6.30 as usual. There was a half an hour delay. The hallmark of Chandrika rule! |
