Canal Habana is a Cuban public television channel founded in 2006,[1][2] at the Mazón and San Miguel studios, where television was broadcast for the first time in Cuba,[1] from the old channel CHTV that was broadcast in the City of Havana.[3] The channel is transmitted by air with a reach throughout Havana, occupying the nascent UHF band in the spectrum of the capital of Cuba (Channel 27).[1]

History

On May 7, 1990, the broadcasts of the CHTV channel began,[1] Telecentro that was broadcast in the City of Havana and the old Havana province and that was located on the 18th floor of the Hotel Habana Libre,[1] the channel remained on the air during more than 15 years between 4:30 and 6:00 pm.[1] The channel began with the objective of witnessing the events of the life of Havanans during the difficult days of the Special Period. CHTV was a unique channel because it was a project with young fourth-year students of the Bachelor of Journalism at the University of Havana together with only three professional journalists and a group of engineers, filmmakers and technicians from various areas of the ICRT.[1] In a second moment, he moved to the studios of P and 23 where he consolidated his professional work with investigative and interpretive journalism. On January 28, 2006, the current Canal Habana was founded.[1][3]
