[HCDX] Cuba relaying Venezuela
VENEZUELA and CUBA
The talk show hosted by Hugo Chávez, president of what is now officially being called "la República Bolivariana /from: Simón Bolívar/ de Venezuela" is now being relayed by R Rebelde and R Habana Cuba ("on five SW frequencies for the Americas"), it was said at the beginning of the Jan 14 edition monitored live at http://www.unionradio.com.ve
The program is aired every Sun, at approx. 1400-1730, on various TV channels and a huge network of
Venezuelan AM and FM stations.
The relays via RHC seem to have started after Cuban president Castro´s visit to Venezuela last year, when
the two leaders struck a deal by which Venezuela will sell petrol to Cuba on very advantageous terms. During Castro´s visit to Venezuela, he also participated on Chávez´ "Aló Presidente" show, Oct 29.
Chávez used to take numerous phone calls from ordinary citizens when he started hosting his show in
May 1999, but the number of such calls seems to have dwindled. Chávez says there will be big celebrations in Venezuela to commemorate his failed coup against the Venezuelan government in 1992.
