Radio Ciudad de La Habana (English: Radio City from Havana), call sign CMBE, is a regional music radio station in Cuba. It is heard on 820 kHz AM and 94.7 MHz FM in Havana and region. It is operated by the Institute of Information and Social Communication (IICS).

History

The Radio Ciudad de La Habana was created on July 26, 1978, within the framework of the XI World Festival of Youth and Students, held in Havana. It began broadcasting on Calle J and 15, in Vedado, with special 24-hour programming until the aforementioned youth event concluded on August 5. On the occasion of the inauguration of the station, Fidel Castro said: "How great, a radio for young people!".^[1]

In 1979, the concept of the station was changed and a reorganization of radio broadcasting in the capital took place. In 1980, it assumed a varied programming as the capital's headquarters, from the studios on the 5th floor of building N, where it is currently located.^[1]

The station has traditionally stood out for broadcasting the work of the country's cultural avant-garde. In the 1980s, it gave a very important space to the incorporation of young members of the Asociación Hermanos Saíz (AHS), which set standards in the style of the plant's productions. Many of the programs that were created at that time survive today.^[1]
