CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - Venezuela's Supreme Court has dismissed a challenge by an opposition-aligned television station seeking to remain on the air despite the government's decision not to renew its license.
In a decision announced late Thursday, the court declared inadmissible the challenge by Radio Caracas Television and its top executive Marcel Granier. The ruling is a setback for RCTV, a channel critical of President Hugo Chavez that is due to go off the air at midnight May 27 when the government says its license expires.
It was the first of a series of petitions made by Venezuela's oldest private network to remain on the air. The station broadcasts a mix of news, talk shows, sports and soap operas.
