Venezuela: RCTV’s Loss of License · Global Voices
Eduardo Avila

RCTV (Radio Caracas Television), a private media station and critic of President Hugo Chavez will not have its license renewed by the government at the end of May.  Oil Wars wonders what will replace RCTV, but thinks this is an opportunity to restructure how media is controlled.  However, Caracas Chronicles mentions polling results that found nearly 70% of Venezuelans do not agree with this non-renewal, “making it the least-popular move of his eight-year presidency.”
