Neither the 363 days elapsed, nor the unexpected rain which refreshed the Sunday's morning, prevented a significant number of Venezuelans from retaking the streets to refuse once again the end of the free-signal broadcasting of TV channel RCTV.

The rejection against the government decision not to renew a broadcasting license for the channel is still in force.

The initial low turnout made organizers feel nervous, but it vanished along with the rain. Hundred people emerged from the subway station holding some item with allusions to RCTV and joined the demonstration. Those who had no items could buy it from the usual street vendors. There was a generous supply, including caps, vests, pins, tapes, banners, whistles, glasses and shades.

The march from Bellas Artes to the RCTV studios, downtown Caracas, took more than one hour. The Press Trade Union, the Venezuelan Medical Association and groups of journalists attended the rally. University students, fewer as compared with 2007, were also present and headed by the president of the Students Federation of the Central University of Venezuela Ricardo Sánchez.

Oscar Pérez, the major organizer, was pleased with the outcome. "This shows the solidarity of the Venezuelan people with RCTV. Today (Sunday) a new stage of civic and democratic struggle begins to ask for respect of freedoms."
