Viewers receive US TV signals in Havana
HAVANA, Cuba - May 15 (Ernesto Roque Cintero,
UPECI / www.cubanet.org) - TV viewers in
the Havana area have been able to get reception
from US broadcasters CBS, Univision, and
Telemundo, reportedly starting the afternoon
of May 8.
The lucky viewers welcome any programming
other than the drab government-produced
local fare.
"This is great," said Ezequiel
Robaina, who said he had been able to watch
the Univision newscast out of the network's
Miami affiliate station the night before.
The signals are typically received at night.
During the day, people can be seen discreetly
tweaking antennas in the rooftops.
Carlos and Victos Goicoechea said as they
tried to raise their antenna: "We haven't
slept watching the outside channels. We
need this to go on, because I don't have
the ten dollars to pay for cable, and this
is free."
