The shortwave schedule of Radio Havana Cuba on the timelines of your cities: every broadcast with its language, frequencies, target area and transmitter site, shown in your own time zone instead of UTC.
Radio Havana Cuba speaks to the Americas. Spanish runs most of the day for Latin America, the Caribbean and North America, and English goes out in a long overnight block (UTC) that falls in the evening in the United States and Canada. French and Haitian Creole programs serve the Caribbean and North America, Portuguese is aimed at Brazil, and on Sundays there are short programs in Esperanto and Arabic.
All broadcasts leave from transmitter sites near Havana, at Bauta and Quivicán, usually on one or two frequencies at a time. The station publishes its schedule in UTC, while Cuba, like the US, moves its clocks in March and November. This calendar follows the current season of the EiBi shortwave schedule, which changes at the end of March and the end of October, and places each broadcast at its local time in each of your cities.
