For those that missed yesterday’s talk show:

-President Hugo Chavez announced yesterday the creation of a new TV station called TVSur to compete with CNN. “A dream has been born, has become a reality” said Chávez. Chávez said the Venezuelan Government will initially be the only investor, but he invited other countries to participate in the project.

-President Chávez announced the creation of two new Ministries: The Ministry for Basic Industries and Mining, the Ministry for light industry and Commerce and the Ministry for Tourism. The Ministry of Production and Commerce will disappear.

-It is unclear whatever happened to the Ministry for Feeding, which was announced but has yet to be created.

-The President also announced, once again, the new Venezuelan Government airline Conviasa, saying it will begin operations soon.
