‘I don’t believe in livestreams’ unless in certain instances– Dirk L. Walters
Mr Walters was at the time appearing as a guest on the July 31, 2023, edition of Talking Points on ZBVI 780 AM.
“Basically, in a nutshell, what we want to do going forward is have conversations regularly with the media and say listen we would like to know your intent for specific events.”
He continued, “What would you like to do? Let's see how we can service or facilitate your request and have that conversation,” he added.
Walters referenced that in other countries if 25,000 tickets were sold out of 30,000 then a livestream would be possible for that event.
VIF&FC looking to engage with media
He added that if he can watch an event live before the events start, he would rather watch it at home rather than purchase tickets.
“I don’t really believe in it [livestreams] unless in certain instances, recording for sure, so it can be rebroadcast at another time… or pay-per-view,” he added.
He called for the media to engage the Committee and work with them on the local events.
Recently, local media house JTV was prevented from streaming the 2023 Prince & Princess Show.
The Miss BVI Pageant Committee which is a Sub-Committee of the VIF&FC has also indicated that it will be prohibiting live streaming of its 2023 show.

Let the broadcast company look their own content and stop free loading
If the shoe was on the other and those broadcasters had any event; they will not for some come and broadcast their events
Go out and support the festival
There are the elderly who have family participating in the queen show and are unable to attend for health reasons. Because of one man’s belief, they are now deprived of the privilege of watching it live. EGO is a dangerous thing especially when we don’t see ourselves boosting it. POWER is our main stay and we do all we can to feed that power which FEEDS our EGO. Some people are dangerous to give power to. That’s why our country can’t move forward. Power hungry people keeping us down. We have made money everything. It is supposed to be our freedom we are celebrating, our emancipation from enslavement, but yet our own are still keeping us down. Putting different shackles on us. Just like our own gave us to the slave masters in the beginning, our own still throwing us out to the wolves. POWER is dangerous Dirky. Keep your EGO in check.
