The national networks are relayed throughout Cuba on various channels. Local programming airs on some Tele Rebelde relayers during the early evening hours on weekdays, prior to the beginning of Rebelde programming. Each local station uses a name.

Tele Rebelde* ch 2 La Habana

Cubavision (24 hours a day)* ch 6 La Habana

Canal Educativo*, channel 4 La Habana


Tele Rebelde's programming covers almost all the Cuban baseball games and almost all 
sports---Canal Educativo Dos carried a ballgame when TR had another one at the same 
time.  Also general entertainment.  Many local/regional channels use the Tele Rebelde 
channel between 4:30 and 6 pm weekdays EST.  This includes Canal Habana 
programming on ch 2 La Habana.  (The "CHTV" name no longer exists, to my knowledge.)

Cubavision = general entertainment, and the Mesa Redonda (Round Table) program in 
the early evening.  It also runs parallel with Canal Educativo late mornings for 
educational shows.  Cubavision from 12:15pm to 1pm EST airs "Al Mediodia", 
which is a variety program which shows what is coming up on all the national 
channels (with possible exception of Multivision) later in the day.

Canal Educativo = entertainment/educational, //Cubavision at the time above.  It 
also airs Mesa Redonda, and repeats it as well late nights.

Canal Habana = serving the La Habana area only.  Many music-oriented shows & some 
imported shows.  Mesa Redonda also.

The "N" news logo is no longer.  The photo with the weather shows the current one.

Canal Educativo 2 = similar to Canal Educativo, but seemingly  
more entertainment-oriented.

Multivision = kid-oriented fare late afternoons, drawing mostly 
from the Disney networks in the USA, but also Discovery Kids and 
even British networks.  (I have not seen a Cuban-made program on 
Multivision as yet.....all imports as far as I know.)  Multivision 
is the only network that has a constant logo bug on screen, "mV".

Canal Habana = serving the La Habana area only.  Many 
music-oriented shows & some imported shows.  Mesa Redonda also.
