Actually they only lost their terrestrial frequency, they continue broadcasting on cable and satellite.
Besides, that channel openly supported an attempted coup against Chavez in 2002. Like him or not, but he's been the democratically elected president so far. I have no doubt he's on his way to turn Venezuela into a dictatorship, but at this time he's still democratically elected.
