Months of speculation about the status of Ronnie Clarke were put to rest today when news broke that he was dismissed by Starcom Network.

Clarke, who was programme manager at the radio station and spent 25 years with the company, was in good spirts when contacted.

“Well, it’s not an issue for me because I’m right. I’m 100 per cent right. I appeared on the Marcia Weekes Show as a calypsonian and Starcom Network says I appeared as the programme manager,” he said.

He was on suspension since August 15.

The calypsonian, known as De Announcer, appeared on the Crop Over stage since 2005 making the Pic O De Crop Finals on nine occasions.

Clarke, who is being represented by attorney Hal Gollop, says he will be going to the Chief Labour Office on Monday and will be pursuing legal action.

Nation Group Chief Executive Officer Noel Wood said he had no comments to make when contacted tonight. (SAT)
