The Venezuelan regulating body has petitioned TV channels: MT, La Tele, RCTV, TV Familia and Televen, for presumed transmission of a symbol (black and coloured) which makes reference, according to the organization, the national mourning. CONATEL had argued that article 9 of the Social Radio & Television Law (Resorte Law) prohibits anonymous advertisements, advertisement by positioning as well as advertisements by insertion. Likewise, the regulating body warned service providers that transmit messages that promote or incite war, alterations in the public or crimes could be sanctioned with a continuous 72 hours suspension.
