Venezuelan TV chief eyes possible deals in Mexico

The head of an opposition-aligned Venezuelan television station that was forced off the air by that nation’s government said he has received offers to co-produce and transmit programming from Mexico. Marcel Granier, whose Radio Caracas Television went off the air May 27 after Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez decided not to renew its broadcast license, vowed Tuesday to keep trying to reach Venezuelan audiences by any means possible.

The Chief thinks that this will work out somehow or another. Chavez is operating with a 1950’s model for media, and has forgotten about the net, SATCOM, etc. Hopefully Granier will be able to effectively stick it to him, media-wise.
