Aló Presidente
''Aló Presidente'' (English: ''Hello, Mr. President'') was a long-running, unscripted talk show hosted by former Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez. It was broadcast on Venezuelan state television and radio channels, including Venezolana de Televisión, on Sundays from 11:00am until mid/late afternoon. In 2009, a survey of 3,000 Venezuelans indicated that 61% of citizens watched or listened to the show regularly. The show was a powerful tool in promoting Chavista socialist ideals and achievements of the Bolivarian Revolution to supporters in Venezuela and beyond. Many editions were filmed outdoors before large audiences, commonly featuring a local farm, factory, school, hospital, housing project or other public investment. Although Chávez typically appeared on television several times a week, ''Aló Presidente'' was his opportunity to reach most families on their day off. It has also been broadcast when Chávez has been abroad, including in Guatemala, Cuba, Dominican Republic, B ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
