Some interesting things found while searching channel descriptions

[crazed 9.6]

I been doing some work with our channel descriptions recently and I do find interesting things every now and again.
I just came across some interesting knowledge about one Venezuelan channel ...

PDVSA TV

For a couple of years now, Venezuelans State oil company PDVSA, has been broadcasting on its own TV channel.
Their main mission is to be “the first station in the world dedicated to oil policy…”
It gets political with how it all started, but there it is... Holy Oil Policy Making... Batman !!

They are not the first Oil Company to have a TV channel.
MAV TV is owned by Lucas Oil and is dedicated to car-related stuff.
Russian oil giant Gazprom, has its own media subsidiary with plenty of outlets – the Russian HegemonCorp

Promar TV

Here is another TV station that had an interesting if not nostalgic story.
Promar TV - Venezuelan regional television station. Originally known as Mariano & Co.

Back in the 1950s the station was known to publicaly show their programming on a large screen TV in the parking lot across from the Sears building.
In 1953, the station was temporary shut down by the local municipal council because they considered it to be an unfair competitor to the local movie theatres.
