Watch D-TV (Duravision TV) (sister service of DNO) for a series of videos on the theme: “Calypso, Politics & Libel”. D-TV is an emerging internet television service currently located on DNO designed to bring relevant video content, free and paid, to readers. The service can be accessed through the “D-TV” button on the DNO menu bar.
Calypso, Politics & Libel, which is brought to you in collaboration with Bouzai Productions and the Dominica Calypso Association, takes a hard look at the issue of libel in calypso. It comes in the wake of a High Court decision which ordered calypsonian, Abel “Checko” Jno Baptiste to pay $130,000 in damages to Dr. Philbert Aaron after Aaron sued him claiming Checko defamed him in his 2013 calypso, “Bug Her”.
The video recordings were made at a seminar organized by the The Dominica Calypso Association and features presentations by calypso writer, Ian Jackson, calypso judge Patrick Pemberton, attorney Duncan Stowe and DPP Evelina Baptiste.

DNO,
For some reason, I cannot get the sound when I view videos on my tablet. The same video play well (with sound) if I view it directly on YouTube.
Can you check your settings? Your is the only site where I get this problem. On my laptop everything works well.
