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."
