Tele Rebelde is Cuba's second national television network, founded in 1968.

History

[edit]

Tele Rebelde was officially launched on July 22, 1968, in the city of Santiago de Cuba. It broadcast its signal to the then Oriente province and aimed to reflect the region in which it was based. It broadcast a wide variety of programs for six hours a day from Monday through Saturday and on Sunday afternoons. In 1975, it became the first station to switch to NTSC color, followed by Channel 2 in Havana.

In 1979, Tele Rebelde from Santiago de Cuba and Channel 2 in Havana were merged into a unified brand, the new network retained most of the programming and the name of the Santiago de Cuba station while also opening a new studio facility.

Programming

[edit]

The channel's programming is primarily sports, with the exception of the evening magazine, which is also transmitted by Cubavisión International, with the inclusion of domestic and foreign programs distributed by thematic blocks depending on the schedule. From Monday to Saturday, the channel begins with the news magazine Good Morning, Awakening All Cuba, and reports of world and national events, emphasizing culture and sport, with the rest of the morning programming block dedicated to sports and fitness. Aside from its local and international coverage of different sports such as football, cycling, motor sports among others in which the country takes part, its flagship sports coverages are on baseball, primary on the Cuban baseball league system and is the official television partner of the Cuba national baseball team. One of its high rating broadcasts are those of the Cuban National Series season matches, from the opening day leading up to the playoffs and the national finals, as well as of the mid-year Super Series, and since 2014 is also the national broadcaster of the Caribbean Series.

The channel also broadcasts cultural programming, including those in the performing arts and Cuban cinema.
