FROM CUBA

U.S. TV and radio signals received off Cuban coast

MORÓN, March 11 (José Manuel Caraballo Bravo, APLA / www.cubanet.org) - Surprised residents of Turiguanó island, off the northern Cuban coast near Morón, found themselves able to receive TV and radio signals from the U. S. last week, according to Nilo Gutiérrez, a local correspondent for APLA.

Residents were able to tune in South Florida channels 7, 10, and 51, and several FM stations, broadcasting music in English and Spanish.

"Housewives were very excited to be able to see the soap operas," said Gutiérrez.

There is nothing authorities can do to block the signals, since it is all via satellite.
