Private TV channel Radio Caracas Televisión (RCTV) may air on cable TV, provided that it "observes current regulations," said Thursday Telecommunications Minister Jesse Chacón.

He said that the 2004 Radio and TV Social Responsibility Law provided for clear specifications about audiovisual production services.

The minister explained that any broadcaster should register in the National Telecommunications Commission (Conatel) as national audiovisual producer in order to be included in the programming of subscription TV service providers.

"We are just asking them to send us and certify that they have the registration of each national audiovisual service provider."

"In this case, then no problem. They should be enrolled. However, no arrangements have been made and we gave the local agent five working days for an answer."
