New
internet
gospel
station
coming
By:
Joan
Wilson
Former
Love
FM
disc
jockey
Delroy
Lingo
who
is
now
based
in
Connecticut
will
be
launching
an
Internet
Gospel
station
called
Gospel
Vybz
and
that
mission
will
be
the
fulfillment
of a
dream
for
the
radio
jock.
Delingo
who
had
a
one
on
one
with
YardFlex
shared
that
while
being
on
air
in
Connecticut
he
was
frustrated
by
lack
of
outlet
for
the
traditional
Caribbean
gospel.
And
it
was
there
that
the
dream
was
laid
on
his
heart
to
create
a
station
that
would
be
the
avenue
to
play
those
kinds
of
songs.
So
five
years
ago
he
started
buying
the
essential
equipment
he
would
need,
now
he
is
in
sight
of
that
vision.
Later
on
this
month
in
at
the
Emmanuel
Apostolic
Church
in
Portmore
he
will
be
officially
launching
the
Internet
site.
"The
internet
gospel
station
will
be
streaming
live
gospel
shows,
church
services
and
playing
your
favourite
traditional
gospel
music
along
with
the
modern
ones,"
Delingo
as
he
is
popular
called
in
the
gospel
arena
told
YardFlex.
