Cuban Radio celebrates its 85th Anniversary

Cuba was one of the first Latin American countries to develop a radio
broadcasting network. The first radio station was inaugurated on August 22,
1922.
Celebrations for the 85th anniversary of the birth of Cuban radio began on
Thursday with a pilgrimage to the final resting ground of Luis Casas Romero,
known as the father of Cuban radio.
The national radio system boosts a large audience and is comprised of 87
radio stations across the island.
Among the activities to celebrate the anniversary will be an award ceremony
to be held at the Museum of the Revolution in Havana recognizing outstanding
workers in all areas of national radio broadcasting.
Celebrations will include the presentation of a cancellation stamp
commemorating the anniversary and a interactive forum on the five Cuban
antiterrorist fighters unjustly held in US prisons for more than eight
years.
Cuban radio has made a significant contribution to the international
campaign for the freedom of Gerardo Hernandez, Antonio Guerrero, Ramon
Labañino, Rene Gonzalez and Fernando Gonzalez, known worldwide as the Cuban
Five. The forum will open on Saturday at the Jose Marti International
Institute of Journalism in Havana.
Cuba was one of the first Latin American countries to develop a radio
broadcasting network. The first radio station was inaugurated on August 22,
1922.
Radio Rebelde, the Cuban revolution's radio station, broadcasted for the
first time on February 24, 1958 opening a new period in the history of radio
on the island.
The Cuban Radio and Television Institute was created on May 24, 1962 with
the purpose of extending broadcasting to the whole territory.
