CEO of WICE\/Q95 FM Radio, Sheridan Gregoire, will be addressing what has become a very public matter between himself and famed sports commentator, Ossie Lewis. The issue erupted days ago on social media when a letter to Lewis from Gregoire began circulating in which he informed Lewis that due to health concerns, the Sports Rap host should no longer report to the radio station to host his sports show.<\/p>\n
“Please be advised that in consideration of your health, I have decided to ask Sebo to be the lead host of the Sports Wrap effective tomorrow Thursday, April 4, 2024. You will no longer come to the studio for Sports Wrap; *Ronald Lander will be a co-host in the studio at Q95,” the letter, which was written in all capital letters, reads. \u201cLobie and you will be online co-hosts. Sherwin will provide a link for you and Lobbie to participate in the show online every Thursday. I look forward to Sebo being given the fullest support and cooperation of Ossie, Ronald, and Lobbie.”<\/p>\n
But the letter did not go down well with Lewis who blasted Gregoire for not actually considering his health.<\/p>\n
“I am referring to your correspondence of Wednesday, April 3, 2024, in which you stated certain decisions you made in respect of the Sports Rap Programme ‘in consideration of (my) health,'”<\/p>\n
Lewis wrote to Gregoire: “Have you ever really considered my health? You have never once inquired from me about my health. Do you have a medical report on the state of my health? Yet, without a scintilla of evidence or even discussions with me about my health, you arrived at your decision to ‘ask Sebo to be the lead host.’<\/p>\n
He further stated that Gregoire has tried to portray himself “as a believer\/practitioner of natural justice and fair play,” and questioned whether he, Lewis, had rights to a fair hearing.<\/p>\n
“I have devoted ten (10) years to the Sports [Rap] programme from its genesis on March 20, 2014, to the present time and I am confident that I have left an indelible mark on Sports [ap], locally, regionally, and internationally without remuneration after the last seven years,” Lewis stated.<\/p>\n
“However, it would appear certain devious ‘forces’ have conspired to achieve their goals. Your letter and the tone therein reeks of crass authoritarianism, a lack of civility, a lack of democratic tenets, and epitomizes injustice.”
\nLewis continued with the matter on a Facebook Live program with Loftus Durand. He said the first thing that struck him was the fact that the letter was written in all capital letters to him. He also repeated his assertion that Gregoire sent him written correspondence about his health when he had never personally inquired about the matter.<\/p>\n
In response to\u00a0 Dominica News Online, Gregoire gave the assurance that the matter would be addressed this week.<\/p>\n
“I intend to address that matter on the Ossie Lewis matter on Sports R6ap this Thursday night,” he stated.<\/p>\n
The issue has generated enormous interest on social media and it appears that many will be listening to what Gregoire has to say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CEO of WICE\/Q95 FM Radio, Sheridan Gregoire, will be addressing what has become a very public matter between himself and famed sports commentator, Ossie Lewis.
