context_page_description: Radio Televisión Martí is an American radio and television international broadcaster based in Miami, Florida, financed by the Federal government of the United States through the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which transmits news in Spanish to Cuba. Its broadcasts can also be heard and viewed worldwide through their website and on shortwave radio frequencies.
  Named after the Cuban national hero and intellectual José Martí, it was established in 1983 with the addition of TV Martí in 1990. The 2014 budget for the Cuba broadcasting program is approximately US$27 million.
  Radio Televisión Martí is an element of the International Broadcasting Bureau. The sister elements in the IBB are Voice of America, Alhurra/Radio Sawa, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Farda, and Radio Free Asia. The IBB and the Broadcasting Board of Governors are independent federal entities spun off from the now defunct United States Information Agency.
context_section_description: Today, Radio Marti broadcasts a 24-hour radio program over short-wave transmitters in Delano, California, and Greenville, North Carolina, and a medium-wave transmitter in Marathon, Florida (GC: 24°41′58″N 81°5′19″W). Its studios are located in Miami, Florida. Cuba jams both the medium-wave and shortwave signals, but the shortwave program is heard in Canada and throughout Central America and South America. On occasion, the medium-wave transmitter at 1180 kHz can be heard as far north as Washington, D.C.
  Two hours of Radio Martí's news programs are carried each night, 10:00 PM to midnight local time, by Miami's WSUA (Caracol 1260 AM). Three hours of news, sports and entertainment programming are available to subscribers of SiriusXM Satellite Radio on channel 153 Monday to Friday from 9:00 PM to midnight. Additionally, Radio Marti is streamed live on radiotelevisionmarti.com and for users of the Radio Televisión Martí App available on iTunes and Android.
  Radio Martí operates with about 100 employees and a budget of $15 million. Its mission, in its own words, is to provide "a contrast to Cuban media and provide its listeners with an uncensored view of current events." Former prisoners in Cuba and Cuban exiles often speak on Radio Martí, and on Saturdays a Spanish-language version of the U.S. president's weekly radio address, as well as the opposition's response, are transmitted.
