hm every time i tune in it's some utter crap - cheap ugly videos with songs that haven't even made close to a hit. maybe it's just me but so far i've only seen l ike one kind of music and i'm positive there's other genres of music videos to show. they're there. arts is now on 99 - thankfully they haven't wiped that out.

Everytime I look at that channel is either

Dip Down Low
Lil' Marcel
or H20 Flo

It still young but still is real mess right now.

o gosh
yuh have to ben a little bit right now
it is carnival..
and synergy is mainly for soca
i think it is good
you can always watch rock music videos on mtv
and yuh rap videos on bet
i mean comon even jazz has its own channel
soca should have its own
to big up the local talent
we are the land of soca yuh know..

richjob · « **Reply #8 on:** February 21, 2004, 11:31:02 PM »

Yes, and we appreciate GOOD soca.

lol these are Trinis? Am so amazed... hence why I was wondering what the deal was. I still don't.

Mangoseed : the Synergy channel made some sort of announcement that it was only for soca? There i thought it was "local". Even in the event that it is - what they are showing can't even be classed as such. What is this crap? Who are these people? Local talent encompasses almost every genre there is... so... huh? I don't think I've even seen this year's soca on yet. I tried again to look at it for the sake of this thread but dear Lord...nothing.

I don't know. They obviously need to settle down and get some videos. As I said there's a lot more diversity as concerns local music. Sky, assorted rock and rap groups and the like.

QDizzle: I never said I watched Arts so that was an assumption. Lol.. everything for its people I suppose.

Personally, I HATE Synergy TV.
When it first premiered, it threatened to cut down WWE RAW's airtime by half, on Channel 16. Of course, several people including myself start to get on, and Local TV was cut back by one hour to suit us wrestling fans. Yay. But I digress.

I think the people responsible for Synergy should be dragged into the street and shot. I mean it. The shows are awful, the music is crud, and the insight into local cuisine and culture is appalling [everyone knows the best place to get doubles is CUREPE, NOT ST. JAMES. DUH!!!!]
While I do agree that local culture is something to be highlighted and encouraged, err...let's NOT do it like they did, and NOT on the WWE channel. And yes, before you ask, that's the main reason why I'm bitter, and no, my refridgerator isn't running, thanks for asking.

Or....I COULD be wrong...about the fridge, I mean.

Lovyan · « **Reply #13 on:** February 22, 2004, 10:31:25 AM »

err what does the fridge have to do with anything? if i see it again i'm deleting it eh!
anyways...indeed... I still would give them a chance to settle down perhaps? Benefit of the doubt is always necessary but not for long again. I mean TTT has never changed Dateline music. Is this an indicator of the direction in which it will go? Heavens let's hope not. I hate to make comparisons like this but come on - TV 6 came on the scene much later and has vastly improved. What's the cause for this? I'm sure I can probably find out. I have suspected it's possibly a funding issue.

mangoseed_89 · « **Reply #14 on:** February 22, 2004, 02:19:20 PM »

but you really have to give them a chance
they only just started
they dont have the abundance of videos quite yet
like when TTT had now start sign on sign off
news alone
then later on they brought out shows to air
it will take time for synergy to get on its feet
but when it does it will be big

as i said before you can watch rap and rock on mtv and bet
soca is our culture
rock and rap are not
you cant find soca in countries like china and all the far east
even most countries in europe africa and south america
but you can find other types of music
so i say yes synergy is more for soca specifically
instead of local talent

I disagree - local music is not just soca or calypso or what have you. We have local artists of all genres, and they should be given the same exposure as everyone else. You keep saying rock videos can be seen on MTV - but so can other genres. I don't like that we finally have a station like this, and it will only focus on part of the music scene. Where's the rest? Where's Sky and all dem?

I've only seen a little bit of Synergy TV but come on, it needs improving and fast. The entire entertainment industry needs to be overhauled, and Synergy TV has the potential to set the standard - if it will only do things right.

EDIT: Watching them now. What's with the dark image and people holding microsphones inside the studio on Gayelle TV? Never heard of overhead pickups? Proper lighting? As for Synergy TV, watching some music videos...look like they were shot with a home camera...low quality, random dimming of the image, jerky zooming, little post-production...what the?
