ONE Radio Host Emanuel Cuschieri Announces His Phone-In Show Stopped For Summer
Veteran ONE Radio host Emanual Cuschieri announced that his weekly phone-in programme won’t air as part of the PL media’s summer schedule and said this wasn’t his decision.
“I have just been informed that the Friday program Linja Diretta on ONE Radio won’t air anymore during the summer months,” Cuschieri said on Facebook.
“This wasn’t my decision but a decision that was communicated to me. I am always available to the Labour Party. I was prepared to continue giving my services but I cannot do anything. I will stop here for now and if I feel the need to give you more details, I will do so.”
“Meanwhile, I thank you for your support and attention and apologise that we’re not going to be meeting. The time has come for the next step. I will keep you informed.”
Cuschieri’s weekly show is known for its impassioned defence of the Labour Party and its condemnation and mockery of people who criticise it. Cuschieri has notably continued to publicly stand up for Joseph Muscat following his resignation as Prime Minister, a stance not all ONE TV programmes have taken.
It also gave listeners a chance to phone the show live to air their opinions and complaints.
Recently, Cuschieri strongly criticised the Planning Authority’s approval of a new swimming pool in ODZ land in Xagħra for well-known developer Joseph Portelli, calling for an independent inquiry into the decision.
