Popular radio talk show host and opposition politician Franz DeFreitas has reportedly been removed as host of Voice of the People on Observer Radio.

DeFreitas was a prominent voice on the widely followed Voice of the People programme, where he co-hosted with broadcaster Paul Quinn. Quinn has been absent from the airwaves for several months due to a serious illness and is not expected to return.

The circumstances of DeFreitas’ departure remain unclear, as Observer Media has yet to release a formal statement. His absence from recent broadcasts has nonetheless fuelled speculation among listeners and political supporters.

DeFreitas, who contested the last general election as a United Progressive Party (UPP) candidate, is known for his outspoken criticism of the government and fiery commentary on national issues.

His reported removal is expected to prompt debate, given his influence both as a broadcaster and as a political figure.

  1. Voice of the People show has been extremely BORING for a while now. It was about time management made some changes. Franz did nothing to improve the show, and he was very uninformed about the history to Antigua.

  2. The new girl Sharon is doing an awesome job in his absence so until it’s sorted, let’s support her and keep the faith!

  3. OK Labourite. Laughing stock you people are. So blinded by red. Hope your grandchildren are ready for the turmoil you are placing on them by taking away their freedoms and resources. Dunce bats!

  4. Franz is a loud-mouth clown. He claims Gaston is a dictator and silences opposing voices, but he himself does it on his show. He stifles free speech, the same free speech he constantly vows to protect. He’s a power hungry hypocrite. I am a UPP supporter, btw, but Franz is as obnoxious as they come.

  5. This just give me the suspicion that the 1 percenters want Franz and knight and other critical callers to the voice of the people off the air, the honorable prime minister Baldwin Spencer said that giving one family such huge contract procurement in government will become a security issue, a billionaire tells everyone what to do , money is a terrible master in the wrong hands, and so said so done, we have a state capture, the police , politicians, judiciary and the media and commercial sector.

  6. Praises be!
    His pronunciation of “government” was grating, he was an extremist and constantly purported convoluted stories, made it out to be that the government is trying to keep people uneducated when his party protested against a university.
    He could never concede to valid points on government policy. He just had to be at the extreme end.
    He constantly ranted and raved. He’s so into skills training that he almost seemed against people learning rudimentary skills which would help a person better function in every aspect of life.
    Franz NEEDED to go!

  7. Radio and radio personalities seem to be getting a lot of attention these days. Are we witnessing the battle of the airwaves or what?

  8. I long for the good old days of VOP when people called in from all over the country sharing their plight.

    VOP under Paul and Franz became annoyingly loud and one sided. Only UPP views were attolerated.

    Franz took abused his privileges by albeit a worth cause soliciting, advertising, campaigning, etc etc etc.

    Dave has complained that the main staple is no longer profitable, it’s not bringing in sufficient revenue.

    At the end of the day whatever happens observer is a business. And Business people with big advertising budgets will not invest in VOP with a UPP candidate that does not even pretend to be objective.

  9. Good luck Franz. We will miss you. Though the new couple are good, they lack the charm and edge. Something you can’t teach, you are BORN with it. I will have to find another station to get my dose of politics. Back to BBC I GUESS.

  10. WoW.
    This must have been a tough decision. What could’ve went wrong ? Franz isn’t perfect but he’s worth listening to.

    How many others host actually have a brain ? He clearly can analyze and bring solutions to any table. He can be placed in any office, any meeting, almost any job in government or politics and operate much better than 90% of them.

    I hope they know what they doing because his absence weakens the Party. Most of them just chilling and running their mouth. Franz actually does stuff, not just talk talk talk.

  11. @JD: Please stop trying to fool people that you are a supporter of UPP, just please be honest for once you are an ABLP parasite using reverse psychology, why are you hiding behind JD you should be man enough to put your real name

  12. One look at that photo above and I don’t blame them for removing him. Lash he 2 wid he own bullbud

    G-R-E-A-T-F-U-L
    BANKRUPT 🤡

    Wasted years in meriKKKa with nothing to show for it!

  13. @Melchesidec

    Dave has complained you say?? The same Dave that likes to have UPP’s CONVICTED PEDOPHILE IAN MAGIC HUGHES as a frequent guest??

  14. I am not longer listening to observer radio.
    Management has made they’re move
    I am making my move.
    I will find another station to listen to and i will encourage my friends and family members to do also.
    DLP, you have made a gross error in my opinion!🤔

  15. We already have the one-sided Browne & Browne show that never takes the Prime Minister to task on the nations major concerns with their softball interviews, and followed closely by the government’s mealy mouthpiece ABS News.

    Yet again, the Browne acolytes come out of their cubby holes to denigrate Observer Radio and in particular Franz DeFreitas, when it’s clear for all to witness that the ABLP and their lickspittling supporters want a one-party state in Antigua.

    This DIVISION in the mismanagement structure now at Observer Radio PROBABLY has Browne or his financial cohorts fingerprints all over it.

    It won’t surprise anyone that ‘Voice Of The People’ was one of my favourite radio programmes. Only because it’s one of the very few stations that gives an alternative viewpoint to the ABLP propaganda troupe.

    The implications of this are immense to one and all, and a dictatorship benefits not ah one ah we at all!

    One wonders if this self flagellation by the Gastonite HEBETATES will eventually take hold on the rest of us? I hope not!

    Get well soon Mr Quinn – you are sorely missed.

  16. Plenty room in the inn at Crusader Radio pithole for him 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

  17. Something smells about this move by observer. They don’t think they owe their listeners an explanation?

    Perhaps they are finally bowed to the political pressure, or maybe some of their shareholders wasn’t comfortable franz beating their government daily.

  18. Good Move!! Franz is loud mouth and often speaks this that are not true!……

    Next to go is Jacqui Quinn!!!! All she do is cuss cuss cuss cuss straight……….

    I stop listening to observer because of them two…

    Jacquie starts the day Cussing

    Franz at mid morning …. Cussing

    Night at night …………. Cussing

    smh

  19. Don’t let the RAG-TAG Clown get to you. All she does is cry down Antigua. Never once u hear her use the mic to advocate for medical treatment funding for others. Come een like she kick down the ladder after TAXPAYERS MONIES was used to fund her treatment at an elite hospital in the US.

  22. Sandra, leave RED TILL ME DEAD alone. He’s NEVER coherent at the best of times on these ANR threads.

    he’s an unintelligible comic at best Sandra.

    Let him be, he actually highlights what’s currently going wrong in Antigua & Barbuda 🇦🇬 with his blind, sycophantic following of Gaston Browne (and note I didn’t mention the ABLP).

    A true Gastonite if you wanted to define one.

    Have a truly blessed day Sandra 👍🏾

  23.

  24. I rest my case your honour 😉

    Brixtonian still the best commentator on ANR bar none … to think I almost retired from this news portal a few months ago, instead of realising the utter joy and pleasure I thoroughly enjoy in taking down these – on the whole somewhat illiterate – ABLP acolytes and Gastonites.

    Yet, they so dunce, they can’t even see it 🤣

    Keep writing your unreadable and incoherent dribble RED. Pretty please 👍🏾
