In 1928 the United States imposed the technical principles that granted privileges to their radio stations inside their territory and toward the exterior, in detriment of the media wave transmissions in the neighbor countries, including Cuba. Already in 1935 they had 625 radio stations of 789 that operated in the whole American continent.

This fact and the U.S Regional Agreement on Regional Broadcasting in 1937, negotiated in Havana, can be considered the antecedents of the radio electronic aggression against Cuba by the U.S government on the part of the neighbor in the North that exists up to today.

In fact, on April 27, Cuba denounced these transmissions, that provoke harmful interference to the Cuban stations, in the debate of the Committee of Information of the UN General Assembly.

Starting from the victory of the Cuban Revolution in 1959, the hours of transmission for subversive purposes became countless. With the defined objective to discredit and destabilize the country, Radio Mambi, La Cubanisima, Radio Cadena Azul, La Voz del CID, Radio Fe, La Voz de la Fundacion, Radio Marti and others were created, until there were more than 130 radio stations, sponsored by 43 counter-revolutionaries organizations residing in Miami, or by the U.S government.

According to the Radio communication Regulation, medium wave frequencies of should not be used for international transmissions in this area, and even less the content of their programming guided to the open promotion of subversion, violence, the violation of the laws, and even political murder.

U.S authorities tolerate commercial stations in the south of Florida using antenna patterns and transmitters with a superior power to that necessary for local transmissions, they accept that wave short plants, called pirates, transmit without license from their territory, invading frequencies dedicated to the radio hams, tasks of the civil defense, communications between ships and aircraft and commit other outrages.

The radio stations are linked to a television station that went on the air on March 27, 1990, called Television Martí, property of the U.S government, that currently transmits from a twin-engine Gulfstream G-1 and a military EC-130 J airplane, and thanks to the effective action of Cuban technicians in defense of their national sovereignty, their programs are not able to be seen in Cuba, constituting a true act of war in the technical, diplomatic and intelligence orders. For 21 years the U.S government and the counterrevolution have been trying to impose their doctrine of dominance on the Cuban State using this mean of communication in vain.

Altogether they are transmitting weekly nearly 2,000 hours of radio and television on 30 different frequencies of medium, short wave, FM and TV, toward the island.

Rodolfo Benítez, permanent alternating representative of Cuba to the UN, denounced, in the debate mentioned, that the Congress of United States approves every year a budget of more than 30 million dollars of federal funds for that type of action against the Island.

All those resources have had as only destination, waste and the defeat; something that the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, synthesized in 2005 when expressing that the United States "failed its renovated ideological war with the anti-Cuban radio and the television with a hive of subversive radio stations which invaded or tried to invade our radio electronic space.”
