Watson Steps Aside, Roach Takes Charge

Opal Roach steps into the role of acting general manager at the Broadcasting Corporation of The Bahamas, succeeding Clint Watson—who’s now entering politics. Watson, who led the state broadcaster for nearly three years after his time as PM’s press secretary, faced mounting controversy over his dual roles, including pressure from the ruling party’s chairman to resign over potential bias. Though he pledged to step down if nominated, the party chose someone else.
