The Spanish-language television network started by the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez as a vehicle for promoting in Latin America his leftist brand of political change will now reach audiences in English.

Under the motto "Don't resign yourself to having just one side of the story," Telesur has unveiled a news website that will serve as a hub for multimedia programming in English from correspondents and pundits across Latin America and the United States.

The website goes live Thursday to coincide with the ninth anniversary of Telesur's launch and the celebration of South American independence hero Simon Bolivar's birthday.

The network hired about 100 native English-speaking journalists and producers for the launch. Many are based in Quito, Ecuador, where a studio was built to produce the bulk of English-language programming.

4. Telesur network

Telesur broadcasted a program featuring Maradona called De Zurda (left-footed).
Found it full of unusual stories and crazy statements. Maradona is notoriously anti-yankee.
As an American I really love Diego as player and for being so outspoken.
I grew up in Argentina and have been following very closely the craziness surrounding
the Argentina holdouts. I hope they are able to stand firm.


Espero que todos la buena gente en Argentina pueden que
sobrevivir este caso de los fondos buitres.
