Hugo Chavez's government has ordered cable providers to drop Radio Caracas Television, RCTV, a TV station that is critical of Hugo Chavez. Venezuela's state-run telecommunications agency said the tv station violated new regulations requiring all TV stations to broadcast Chavez's speeches.
I guess RCTV didn't think Hugo Chavez's 4 hour marathon, coca laced, tirades is good television.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - Venezuelan cable television providers stopped transmitting a channel critical of President Hugo Chavez on Sunday, after the government cited noncompliance with new regulations requiring the socialist leader's speeches be televised on cable.[...]
RCTV was yanked from cable and satellite programming just hours after Diosdado Cabello, director of Venezuela's state-run telecommunications agency, said several local channels carried by cable television have breached broadcasting laws and should be removed from the airwaves.[...]
Several channels have not shown Chavez's televised speeches when he orders all media to air them - a requirement under new regulations approved last month by the telecommunications agency, Cabello said.
RCTV did not broadcast a speech by the president to his political supporters during a rally early on Saturday.
