 News started to be transmitted by telex, which allowed them to reach more cities around the country in less time.The government of José María Guido, appointed and controlled by the military after the March 29, 1962, coup against Frondizi, closed the agency on May 30, 1963, alleging they ""are transmitting false information that by its nature and reach, subverts the public order and the public calm, when the government is firm in its purpose of eliminating any factor capable of disrupting the electoral process by applying the powers it has during a state of unrest"".Télam became a fully government owned company under the "de facto" government of General Juan Carlos Onganía, on June 24, 1968, after the state bought its outstanding shares through the "Secretaría de Difusión y Turismo" (Ministry of Tourism and Information).
