VENEZUELA: Minister proposes Radiosur

Issue 

Venezuela's communication and information minister Yuri Pimental has proposed the formation of Radiosur, a Latin America-wide radio station. Venezuela, with the participation of Cuba, Uruguay and Argentina, has already launched the Latin America-wide television station Telesur, which aims to challenge to domination of US media on the continent and reflect the interest of Latin American people. Pimentel sees the network as a "tool for greater integration and our survival" and argues that a Caracas meeting of directors of several South American state radio stations could be the seed of Radiosur, according to Vheadline.com on March 7.
