CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - More than two-thirds of Venezuelans oppose President Hugo Chavez's plan to kick an opposition-aligned TV station off the airwaves, many saying it will violate their right to choose what to watch, a private pollster said Thursday.
Seventy percent of 2,000 people surveyed last week opposed Chavez's decision not to renew the broadcast license of Radio Caracas Television, said Caracas-based pollster Datanalisis.
Chavez accuses the station of supporting a failed 2002 coup against him. He denies his aim is to silence a government critic, but argues the station has violated broadcast laws.
