Cuban Institute of Radio and Television (formerly ICRD) officials told state media that the blackout, which lasted more than 10 hours in most provinces, forced Cuban television to reschedule several broadcasts, particularly soap operas. .
Starting this Monday, Cuban television programs will be affected in response to the complicated electrical-energy situation going on in the island, it was confirmed from the official media. CubePad.
For example, the Cubavisión channel will broadcast the novels “Viceversa” and “Nuevo Sol” on three different occasions: morning, afternoon and early morning, after the night premiere. Monday through Friday, the previous night's episode is replayed early in the morning. Also, the regular telecast continues in the morning and one episode of both novels will be aired on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 2 pm.
Blackouts also affect Cuban television programming
The Telerebelde channel, for its part, will air the National Baseball Series' Game of the Day at 8 p.m. Finally, Multivision will maintain three daily broadcasts of the foreign novel “Eternamente”: a premiere at 3 pm and two broadcasts per episode at 10 pm and 5 am.
These changes in television programming enable residents, already traumatized by the power outage crisis, to enjoy limited entertainment on Cuban television in the context of power outages and difficulties with electricity supply.
These actions have generated mixed reactions among the public, with some expressing their understanding of the situation, while others showing their displeasure at cutting premieres and repeating shows like Cuban and Brazilian soap operas. Others point out that this is not a real concern of Cubans.
