Suspension of 4 TV Channels Lifted

[Andronex]

Venezuela’s National Telecommunications Commission CONATEL has lifted the suspension of four of the television stations that were suspended for failing to comply with Venezuela’s radio and television social responsibility law.

On Wednesday CONATEL determined that the four channels, TV Chile, American Network, Momenum, and Ritmosan, don’t qualify as national channels and therefore the aforementioned law does not apply to them. Following the temporary suspension the four channels presented documentation to CONATEL and it was able to make the assessment.

Now, the channels are not prohibited from transmitting, but it will be up to the respective cable operators to determine when and if the channels resume their programming.

On 23 January Venezuela’s National Telecommunications Commission CONATEL temporarily suspended six cable television channels for failing to comply with Venezuela’s law on radio and television social responsibility.

1. "radio and television social responsibility." - we used to have similar laws.

But never mind that. Now we got us False Noise and we've branded everything except our own asses in the name of free market 'freedom' while busily condemning the efforts of our southern neighbors to liberate themselves from oligarchs and global corporations.

2. Thanks, Andronex! Have you noticed the stories which AREN'T sensational get little play?

As soon as the problem was worked out they're back on the road again.

Can't be used for propaganda any longer, so the story doesn't get big banners, and doesn't attract the lunatics!

Good to see this posted.
