Abstract

This work aims to recognize the role of radio in the face of the current health crisis facing the world, caused by Covid-19. It focuses especially on Cuba, whose national radio system has been reorganized to extend its sound waves to a wider audience, starting with the change in programming, national chains and new production routines. The story of the community radio stations has found opportune space in the national radio stations, highlighting the stories of the Cubans in the confrontation with the disease. The presence of Cuban radio stations on the Internet with real audio and the access of Cubans to new technologies has allowed the active participation of a greater number of people and, consequently, the increase in audience. Cuban radio resurfaces renewed before this new health situation.
