TELEVISION CHANNEL CRITICAL OF CHÁVEZ RETURNS
[SOURCE: Financial Times, AUTHOR: Benedict Mander]
Venezuela's opposition-aligned television station, RCTV, resumed operations via cable and satellite after being forced off the public airwaves almost two months ago when President Hugo Chávez refused to renew its licence. The return of RCTV - which previously enjoyed nationwide coverage and has since resorted to showing the latest episodes of its popular soap operas on YouTube - will be limited to the third of Venezuelan households that can afford cable and satellite subscriptions.
