Look everyone, unedited NTV intros! ua-cam.com/video/tXAH1rciZ2Y/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/8CnCIL38WEA/v-deo.html Since my edits are so controversial, here are the content matches for the NTV opens (feeding the unmuted version into Shazam): 2:25 Mundo Mio by Silvito El Libre (doesn't sound even a little bit like the news intro, and recording predates the song by like a decade... obviously an error) 8:00 Rock Para Las Masas by Porno para Ricardo ua-cam.com/video/A4y5PrkhaHA/v-deo.html
6:14 TV Ad against Abortion 10:38 That's cuban public transportation for you. 11:14 European style news intro. 13:03 There was a similar show on Mexican TV in mid 80s.
6:14 I never saw that commercial against abortion on TV in my country, nor have they ever talked to me about it. It seems that they stopped transmitting it and nobody remembers it.
So, until 2009 the Cuban newscast was named for this way: Noon news: TV noticias (today Noticiero del mediodía) Prime news: NTV (today Noticiero estelar) Midnight news: Tercera emisión (next Noticiero del cierre, today Resumen 24)
In 8:14 exactly you have the best stalinist example of censorship. Two years early another baseball player apear in that frame, buy he "defected" and later "erase" from this intro. Look closely and try to notice the subtle change. If you can find any recording from the same intro around the years 2000-2001 yo will see other player in the same frame.
One thing that strikes me is that it is perfectly legal to pick up Cuban channels here that criticize our government. But doing this vice versa in Cuba is a big no no and can get you thrown in jail.
6:25 -- Dr. Rubiera is still doing the weather over 20 years later. I don't know if he's still on Cuban TV, but he does a general weather report in English on Radio Havana Cuba (shortwave).
This was from around 1993ish.... I suppose it was Cuba's way of showing that they had access to these networks---a big deal in Cuba in the 1990s, in my opinion.
I might be wrong, but I couldn't help but think that"Hoy mismo" could perhaps have been the Cuban equivalent of "Der schwarze Kanal" from East Germany that took clips from West German television and added onscreen commentary with a heavy communist slant. Mind you, with Cubavisión et al openly bootlegging American TV and the authorities in East Berlin eventually conceding that there was a choice, not to say a better one, and they couldn't do all that much about it, I can't be sure.
12:35 -- CMBR -- 1 second in -- It appears to be a 0khz CCI beat from WFOR 4 Miami. (And a "CBS 4" (If it was already called that) logo ghosting in and out). It's possible that both WFOR and CMBR were zero offset.
It still is the case, just that the signal needs to be a bit stronger to be picked up by a regular antenna. I have picked up a few stations out of different areas through tropo (and documented one example of it here on YT).
It doesn't help that many digital TVs won't tune into a station that didn't show up on your most recent re-scan. In the analog days, when conditions were ripe for this type of thing, you could just turn your dial and immediately see that you're getting a fuzzy channel 2 or 3 or 7 that you don't normally get. Not so easy now.
Tropospheric Propagation. Over waterways (in this case, the Florida Strait), humid air, cooled by water above it, causes the signal path to follow the curve of the earth - to your antenna.
You actually could pick them up at the beginning, with special made antennas, you could watch Univision and CNN from a house in Havana, but then Castro began to crackdown on those people. Can't have people realizing that their country sucks now can we?
I watched TV from Florida for many years in Havana until I got the fortune of leaving that diabolic system. I watched all the flights to the moon and my living room was full of people, including some communists.
@@nathandebartolo8330 I didn't watch any Yankee station. Everything was from Florida and sometimes Alabama. I understand for everybody out of America, every American is a Yankee. For us that is not the case. We consider Yankees the northerners. Well I used several antennas during those years. I used for a long time a "4 story" collinear array designed for channel 10 but the bandwidth was decent enough to watch other channels, including channel 4 from Miami. I tried log-periodic with decent results. However the yagi was the champion but it is very narrow. In my memory I keep several stations. Some of them have changed the call signs. WTVJ Channel 4 CBS affiliate, Miami WCKT Channel 7 NBC affiliate, Miami WPLG Channel 10 ABC affiliate, Miami WCIX Channel 6, independent, Miami WINK Channel 11, Fort Myers WPEC Channel 4, West Palm Beach WTVT Channel 13, Tampa And some other not everyday. It was an effective way to stay informed in a country dominated by the devil communism, where it is impossible to watch or read anything but what they publish and want the people to believe. They didn't mention the flights to the moon on Cuban media. Thanks God in mid 70's I could leave Cuba and I have never returned and I will never return. Thank you for your comment.
@@rafaelrodriguez1029 I wonder if you could see the actual Saturn V rocket lift off from Cuba. I saw it in Miami when they launched Apollo 17 at night. Even the sound travelled that far.
@@nathandebartolo8330 Honestly, I remember very well that night of Apollo 17 and looked in direction to Florida but I didn't see it. Amazing you saw it in Miami. You are making me going back in time to memorable days when America was top notch despite Vietnam and other problems.
Eco was a 24 international news channel in Spanish broadcast from Mexico City. The channel was owned and created by Televisa in 1988, it went off the air in 1997.
These are my videos. Ryan uploaded them in good quality for me. Basically it's an outdoor TV antenna. Better to donthis from the Florida Keys---but sometimes I see it from my home 22.5 miles northwest of Miami.

On MW on 670khz....I got Cuba in the 1970s on my dads car radio from Palm springs California at night....in the 1980s and 1990s...i heard The Caribbean Beacon Angulla BWI on 1610khz on MW at Night doing cold Nights....U have a QSL from that station... also from California
If I remember correctly, Czechoslovakia had made an arrangement to provide SECAM television equipment to Cuba- Using 8 MHz channels (in an area where all other TV is NTSC and 6 MHz channels) Since the Florida Strait is both relatively narrow, and temperatures are high, tropospheric refraction and incompatible channels would cause chaos.
i think there is still a lot of time. Its not a wealthy country. most people still have old time CRTs, and, the expense of providing converter boxes would be a pinch on their resources. Also due to the low economic level: they are not in desperate need to free up frequencies for wireless tech expansion. Even with recent changes in U.S policy "opening up" Cuba, they will probably be one of the last holdouts for switch over.
Checking a few places, it appears Cuba is adopting China's "DTMB" system for digital transmissions. I'm sure that's a smart move to deter those on the island from DX-ing elsewhere! Incidentally I just checked out Cubavision's latest schedule for Sunday and see they have the Angry Birds movie playing this morning! www.tvcubana.icrt.cu/cartelera-de-la-tv-cubana/cubavision

In Cuba the word Copyright does NOT exist. Lol.
Memories from my childhood 😂😂
6:14 TV Ad against Abortion
10:38 That's cuban public transportation for you.
11:14 European style news intro.
13:03 There was a similar show on Mexican TV in mid 80s.
6:14 I never saw that commercial against abortion on TV in my country, nor have they ever talked to me about it. It seems that they stopped transmitting it and nobody remembers it.
11:40 - This signal is so clean I would be easily fooled into thinking it was recorded by someone in Cuba instead of 200 kilometers away in Florida :o
Thanks!
Right. Analog Tropo/E-Skip did wonders.
@@friesareyummythat it did. A lot of the Canadian stations I used to pick up in Pennsylvania came in better than our locals during those events.
The "3" in the weather report stands for "Tercera Emision" (Third Edition), their third report of the day.
I usually have my tercera emision around the same time during the day.
So, until 2009 the Cuban newscast was named for this way:
Noon news: TV noticias (today Noticiero del mediodía)
Prime news: NTV (today Noticiero estelar)
Midnight news: Tercera emisión (next Noticiero del cierre, today Resumen 24)
10:24 was that Windows XP?

Maybe the sound came from the PC where the video transfer happened.
Can you really call yourself a rebel if you’re the authority ?

No, actually it was just a news programme with foreign news taken from international sources. In fact NTV used ECO and CNN clips for their news.
The little airline-announcementlike "ding!" accompanying the Propaganda Bonus sign coming up at about 1:01 made me laugh out loud.
Fascinating look inside Cuba. Thanks for sharing.

How the heck do you get TV signals from *120 miles* away? Is that how it used to be before digital TV?
It still is the case, just that the signal needs to be a bit stronger to be picked up by a regular antenna. I have picked up a few stations out of different areas through tropo (and documented one example of it here on YT).
It doesn't help that many digital TVs won't tune into a station that didn't show up on your most recent re-scan. In the analog days, when conditions were ripe for this type of thing, you could just turn your dial and immediately see that you're getting a fuzzy channel 2 or 3 or 7 that you don't normally get. Not so easy now.
Tropospheric Propagation.
Over waterways (in this case, the Florida Strait), humid air, cooled by water above it, causes the signal path to follow the curve of the earth - to your antenna.
next, you should go to Cuba and try to pick up the Florida stations.
You actually could pick them up at the beginning, with special made antennas, you could watch Univision and CNN from a house in Havana, but then Castro began to crackdown on those people. Can't have people realizing that their country sucks now can we?
such as smuggling atsc receiver to cuba?
@@MegaRafaelloco Castro is dead now so I think it might be possible. Cuba is still a communist state tho.

Loved the George W. Bush bit at 10:08.
Seeing that part is creepy!!
they had a commercial back then were Bush was compared to Hitler.
See even other countries compared the guy to Hitler then
Very good video ! Now if you want to see tv from Cuba need digital TV Converter Box, format ( DTMB ) from China
No, while they broadcast in that standard, they still have plenty of analog TV stations
I think DTMB should be expanded into pro-China communist puppet states replacing ATSC, ISDB-T or DVB-T during World War III.
I assume the bands in Matanzas are less congested than in Havana

For some reason I always thought that Cuba was PAL and not NTSC.
Cuba had its first color broadcast on March 19, 1958 from Habana Hilton hotel. Several months before the tyranny took power. It was NTSC.
If I remember correctly, Czechoslovakia had made an arrangement to provide SECAM television equipment to Cuba- Using 8 MHz channels (in an area where all other TV is NTSC and 6 MHz channels)
Since the Florida Strait is both relatively narrow, and temperatures are high, tropospheric refraction and incompatible channels would cause chaos.
Cuba was a US colony, so, they didn't adopt PAL system, obviously.
One day, can you go to the keys and scan for cuban tv before they go all digital?
i think there is still a lot of time. Its not a wealthy country. most people still have old time CRTs, and, the expense of providing converter boxes would be a pinch on their resources. Also due to the low economic level: they are not in desperate need to free up frequencies for wireless tech expansion. Even with recent changes in U.S policy "opening up" Cuba, they will probably be one of the last holdouts for switch over.
I bet. At least once they're ready, they'll have what they'll need.
Checking a few places, it appears Cuba is adopting China's "DTMB" system for digital transmissions. I'm sure that's a smart move to deter those on the island from DX-ing elsewhere!
Incidentally I just checked out Cubavision's latest schedule for Sunday and see they have the Angry Birds movie playing this morning!

@Local & DX----Click on my name and look for "Cuba TV Bandscan" which was done recently. It was one of the better days; not always that good.
Probably not. According to Wikipedia, Cuba adopted the DTMB system for DTV rather than ATSC.
Does Cuba use the same frequencies for TV as the United States and Canada?
Yeah, but they don't use ATSC for digital TV.
I will add that Cuba will still have analog AFAIK until 2024, maybe even longer, due to COVID.
