Cuba s new TV news channel ACN, a new information support with a dynamic vision of Cuban life, was presented Thursday at the 8th National Written Press Festival, that concluded Friday at the Havana Convention Center.
Esteban Ramirez, general director of Cuba s National Information Agency (AIN), which heads this project, said they want to bring press material and messages from Cuba to Cuban collaborators abroad, mainly in Bolivia and Venezuela.
ACN has an attractive design, tested since August, with three application modules and is presently visible for 70,000 Cuban inhabitants living in mountainous zones.
The signal is in a Hisposat ID satellite, and the channel may be seen by 15 million Spanish-speaking family homes linked to the satellite.
The goal of this new TV channel, which will be gaining in quality with new support, is to make the Cuban reality better known and foster exchange between Cuban collaborators and their families.
In the context of the 8th Festival, a multimedia work, conceived as a consulting work for journalists, "Pasion Fecunda" was presented with the most important quotes of Cuban President Fidel Castro from 1959 to 2005.
