Laugh First, Love Later

King of JunkaPOP

by Team TAAG Entertainment


The 242 entertainment scene awaits a trembling awakening this weekend, as one of the country’s youngest and most experienced entertainers, Munks(21), returns to the set of Bahamas@Sunrise on ZNS TV 13 for a third time within two years premiering hot new music from his new up and coming album, ‘King of JunkaPOP.’

This local entertainment phenom originally popped up in 2006 on the Junkanoo Summer song competition featuring his debut single, ‘The Art of Woo.’ The song was a genius fusion of popular sounds such as Junkanoo laced with hints of Soca and HipHop in the mix.

Munks then earned the title of creator of a nu- wave style of Bahamian music named ‘JunkaPOP.’

Plans for new Bahamian TV channel are revealed

ELABORATE plans for a new Bahamian television channel were revealed yesterday.

Lincoln Bain, Chet Pratt, Utah Taylor and Erin Ferguson have promised that VTV will take the Bahamas by storm.

During a press conference at the British Colonial Hilton, VTV founder Lincoln Bain said: "We are guided by vision and dedication to become the media vehicle to which Bahamians and cultural expression will be brought up to 21st century standards."

VTV aims to offer 24-hour programming, including morning and late night shows in its line-up. It is projected to debut in the next few months for cable and non-cable subscribers.

The goal of VTV's board is to set itself apart early on from the "typical over-glamorised" news stations, bringing a more holistic approach to a television station, instead of just a community board, and limited programming which some stations offer.

"Our focus is to be the home of Bahamian sitcoms, drama series, soap operas, game shows, reality TV shows, and investigative reporting with or without the Freedom of Information Act," said Mr Bain, the co-host of Controversy TV talk show, broadcast on Channel 12, alongside Utah Taylor.
