Venezuela-based channel teleSUR is leaving Argentina’s television network, as its relationship with the country’s government seems to have broken down.

Argentina’s government answered teleSUR’s petition initiating the process to break the contract as a shareholder, even though this agreement is due to end by the end of October.
The authorities have already awarded ArgenTV with a free-to-air signal to replace teleSUR.
teleSUR was originally designed in Venezuela by Hugo Chávez's government in 2005, then becoming a multi-state-owned network in which Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Uruguay and Argentina participated.
Argentina’s government has based its decision on its austerity and plurality plan for public media. “Our country had no decision about content or the signal's management,” said Hernán Lombardi, Argentina’s minister for media and public content.
