The first radio station that transmitted in Cuba was the 2LC of Luis Casas Romero, August, 22, 1922.In October the 10th, 1922 were carried out the first transmission of the PWX, what was considered officially as the inauguration of the broadcasting in Cuba; the inaugural speech of the President of the Republic, by then, Alfredo Zayas was transmitted, in Spanish and in English for the North American people.

From its beginnings until the decade of the thirty the radio maintained a programming based fundamentally on the information and the entertainment.

With the victory of the revolution in 1959, changes take place in the radio. In 1960 the Front of Free Radio Stations is created (IFFRS), which gave to the Cuban state the facilities and the operation of its services. In May, the 1rst, 1961 the International radio station Radio HabanaCuba came out to the air.
