Will airplay be enough now that school of hip hop is now off air?

Every sartuday from 12 to 3pm , zim hip hop fans would tune in to power fm and listen to  The School of hip hop with The Mariachi Code.But for unclear reasons, Power fm decided to cut off the show and replace it with another show.The question which arises from this Will local rap artists receive the same amount of airplay they received when Mariachi's show was still available??.Hamenooo.
According to many,the most affected are the Rehab artists who relied on Mariachi for exposure. I do not know whether thats true or not but Mariachi has to be commended for pushing the game foward. Hats off!!
The move by ZBC seems unfair to the #ZHH fam because as far as attracting more people, Zimdancehall has been given a huge advantage because they have Ignition Party and Judgement Yard still available on air. Some will argue that Star fm is doing a great job promoting the game but i gotta say that Star fm doesnt have the same national coverage as Power fm does.
School of hip hop is now history and the artists have to make themselves heard.
How will they achieve that?
They have to make use of platforms such as Reverbnation and Soundcloud. I have to mention Olova.I saw a tweet giving info about the app and gave a try,its a good way of selling and distributing music.More humble artists like Tehn Diamond whose #SOTG1-3 albums are available for free on the app.
If one can not afford all this,whatsapp can be a useful tool too.Its even faster than more platforms because a song can be shared to  100 people at once.
Anyways, the removal of #SOHH doesnt mean the death of the game!! Zim hip hop will become the biggest in the country if the the fans, rappers and promoters have  the right mindset.
