Good news
And hope they do work out deals and spread that risk over a number of cable operators :-)
Seen all this crap before in another country where there was an element of "deviancy" and false claims about broadcasting licenses. Knew the people involved - they were honorable and genuine journalists. It took .. think 10 years and a series of court hearings/appeals, but - they got their broadcasting license returned and are now free to blast the govt to hell and back if they misbehave
When broadcasts started again, it was amazing to listen to phone-in programming where the public were given an opportunity to speak or ask questions - they obviously loved being given a voice
Irrespective of Chavez's views or his revolution - messing with broadcasting, especially respected broadcasting, is a big mistake and karma has it's ways
There is the other side to broadcasting - basically propaganda for the brain dead (prob worst in the world outside China is alleged Fox News) - could not care less if they were junked. Let's hope Chavez's new station is not another broadcaster to the brain dead, with the only difference of political extremism from the other side of the fence.
