Radio CNB

Radio CNB (Radio Cadena Nacional Broadcasting) was a prominent Venezuelan radio network with a significant presence in the country during the 20th century. It played an important role in disseminating news, entertainment, and cultural programming. However, in 2009, the Venezuelan government, under President Hugo Chávez, revoked the licenses of multiple radio stations, including several CNB affiliates, as part of a broader media crackdown. This led to the closure of many CNB stations, significantly reducing their influence and operations. The move was widely criticized by press freedom advocates as an attack on independent media.
