TelSur
July 26, 2005 ( politics )
A new pan-Latin American TV channel, Telesur, has begun its first broadcast from the Venezuelan capital, Caracas.It is backed by the governments of Venezuela, Argentina, Cuba and Uruguay who say they want it to promote Latin American integration.
Last week the House of Representatives voted to enable the US administration to begin broadcasting its own TV signals to Venezuela.
The US plan is intended to counter what it called anti-US propaganda.
A few minutes later than scheduled, just after midday Venezuelan time, Telesur's presenter, Patricia Villegas, welcomed viewers to "this new television station of the south".

Having seen what US Cable has done to Jamaican culture, I fully support any country's efforts to maintain their own identity.
