HAVANA, July 24 (Juan Carlos Linares, Cuba Voz) - The Cuban Institute of
Radio and Television plans to inaugurate a third broadcast station by September,
according to a technician who has been working on the project and who asked to
remain anonymous for fear that reprisals may be taken against him.
The new station is to broadcast on channel 4's frequency. The studios, with
Sony and Panasonic cameras and monitors and RCA transmitters of Canadian
manufacture, are being set up on one floor of the Havana Libre hotel, at an
initial investment of 1.2 million dollars. The project calls for the signal to
reach the island from one end to another through provincial broadcast centers.
The source said the new channel is meant to concentrate the propaganda
content now broadcast on channels 2 and 6.
Technicians and other personnel who will operate the station are now
undergoing a process of selection, primarily to ensure their fidelity to the
communist system, said the source.
