Is the de facto regime worried? you be the judge. Cholusat reports being menaced with a takedown. Radio Globo is running on backup power, and Adrienne Pine reports that Radio Progreso cited a military convey sent against them was repelled by citizens mobilizing outside their station. Meanwhile, their website seems to have been hijacked and redirects you to other media, such as HRN, the national (pro-coup) radio network.

Meanwhile, La Prensa has advised that it cannot update its website, and advises readers to follow its Twitter feed.
El Heraldo is directing readers to Facebook, for its part.
