“With an improvised car-booth, the 'Balón en el aire' group of this station is preparing to broadcast the debut of the Holguín Panthers against the Ciego de Ávila Sharks in the Opening Tournament of Cuban soccer. today from 3:00 pm at the EIDE 'Pedro Miguel Díaz Cuello', in Holguín. We are Radio Banes, the most sporting one,” they published on the social network.Facebook.

This publication reflects the scarcity conditions in which the workers of the Cuban official propaganda media work, especially those located in the country's municipalities.

At the beginning of 2022, thestation workersRadio Freedom, from the Las Tunas municipality of Puerto Padre, denounced the precarious conditions in which they work and demanded that the authorities provide effective solutions to the problems..

“If the highest political and government authorities of the province and the ICRT assert that the Puerto Padre station has precarious conditions, and did not speak out for an immediate solution (at least it was not visible in the writing), how can they plan the authorization from the Radio Victoria recording studio?” questioned a worker on her social networks.

However, everything happens in the midst of a panorama in which the few resources allocated to the Cuban press were squandered.in the new study released onCanal Caribe in the middle of last year, with a"modern" set with touch screen, but which has been questioned by Cubans with phrases such as: "Notify when you give real news", in clear reference to the change in scenery that is valid when the speech remains the same.
