Venezuela's Hugo Chavez on Saturday cancelled the broadcast of his promised show, presidential sources told AFP, thus interrupting a four-day marathon of himself talking, singing, and haranguing detractors. Chavez had vowed a Thursday-to-Sunday broadcast of his weekly radio and TV program "Alo Presidente" ("Hello President") to mark the show's 10-year anniversary. Normally the show runs for several hours on Sundays, but Chavez said he wanted a special extended edition. "It will be in chapters, like a soap opera," Chavez, a former paratrooper who often breaks out into song on-air, said late Monday. Chavez held broadcast talkathons lasting some six hours each on Thursday and Friday. |
One can only hope anyway...
