May 28th, 2007: TVES inauguration

<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Caracas, Venezuela. Today, TVES a public service television started in Venezuela. It is on the very same air frequency allocated to RCTV in the past. Its inauguration caused enormous expectations and criticism among Venezuelans.  Even though opposition members deemed it as a failure, it has not started to air its programmes yet. Government officials promise it to be a new kind of TV for Venezuela. However, existing TV stations have not been able to provide a balanced view or popular soap operas yet.
