Havana, August 22 (RHC)-- Cuba celebrates this Thursday the 98th anniversary of its first continuous radio broadcast through 2LC, launched by composer Luis Casas Romero.  
The Director-General of Cuban Radio, Onelio Castillo, sent a congratulatory message for the occasion to the more than 5,000 workers of the medium in the country.

"Since March 11, 2020, Cuba has been engaged in a tenacious fight for life in the face of a pandemic that stubbornly seeks to cut off the human species," wrote Castillo.

After recalling how the island has multiplied solidarity, energy, knowledge, and heroism to face the COVID-19, he noted that Cuban Radio stations have participated with humbleness, perseverance, and honor in the Cuban people's efforts led by the Party and the Government, to fight the pandemic.

"Today, on the 98th anniversary of our media's founding moment, I congratulate you for having shared for more than five months the feat of an entire country in defense of its people," he added.

The Director-General of Cuban Radio recalled that within two years the celebration of the centennial of Cuban Radio would take place.

"That route until August 22, 2022, inspires and generates new commitments so that the signal that you put on the air every day remains there, vital and rebellious," Castillo concluded.
