Plus viewership on JNN TV live and while the viewership of cable networks are not currently measured scientifically in Jamaica. our reliable partners have ‘guesstimated’ a viewership of about 500,000 Views for JPF 2020. Therefore it is reasonable to say we had a combined viewership of over 650,000 Views for Jamaica Poetry Festival 2020 and we aim to step it up for Poetry in Motion 2021.
