CNC3 television seeks to clarify its exclusion of certain utterances by CNC3 host Ian Alleyne from its telecast. In a statement yesterday the media house refuted allegations of trying to mislead the general public of police inspector roger alexander’s arrest of Mr. Alleyne, last Tuesday.

Inspector Alexander, who otherwise hosts “Beyond The Tape” for the rival TV6 television, arrested Mr. Alleyne at the home of a chaguanas businessman. On Sunday, the Media Association (MATT) claimed that CNC3’s showing of the incident had misled the public, and had been a breach of basic journalistic ethics.

However yesterday, CNC3 refuted the allegation, saying the station has always upheld the highest standards of journalism, which they now recommit to. The station said that at no point did they intend to deliberately mislead the public in our reporting on Alleyne’s arrest. However the media house said in hindsight, we recognise that we should have also publicly indicated that an obscenity was used.

The station said, if any of our viewers were misled, we unreservedly apologize.” Several senior executive members of MATT are employed at CNC3.
