Festivities Open New CMTV Havana on Ch. 11
CMTV Havana, Cuba, the tv station of Television Del Caribe, went on the air last Thursday with a festive inaugural that included a party attended by some 5,000 guests from the diplomatic corps, political, military and educational circles and the advertising and agency fields.
Station, assigned ch. 11, is headed by Senor Manuel D. Austran as president of Television Del Caribe, which is owned (95%) by Storer Broadcasting Co., owner and operator of the Storer AM-FM-TV stations in the U. S.
The station occupies a three-story central building, which houses offices, studios, engineering department, announcers room, screening room and art department, and an adjoining building where dressing rooms, rehearsal room, and carpentry and set designing shops are located. The quarters are modern, completely air conditioned and equipped with features of latest design, authorities reported.
WHAM-TV Ad Welcomes New Tv Competitors
WHAM-TV Rochester's advertisement in that city's Democrat & Chronicle welcoming competing WVET-TV and WHEC-TV, share-time stations on vhf ch. 10, has won praise in the newspaper's editorial columns. The two stations (WHEC-TV ownership is the same as that of the Democrat & Chronicle) went on the air earlier this month [B*T, Nov. 2]. WHAMTV has been operating since June 1949.
In its advertisement WHAM-TV said: "Running the only station in town is not an unmixed blessing. In fact, it's a lot like being the old-time king with a hundred wives. He may have seemed lucky to some of us, until we remember that he had to live by a hundred sets of household rules!
"We haven't had a hundred wives, but we have been wedded, since 1949, to four networks . . . Too many good programs for one telecaster to handle . . ."
The Democrat & Chronicle editorial, commenting on WHAM-TV's message, said in part: "In the obviously sincere welcome it [WHAM-TV] contrived to blast the fallacy that monopoly is something to be sought, to be bought, or to be achieved through any sort of business skullduggery ... In this cordial message lies good feeling and good sense. Also it is a brief but authoritative treatise on the headaches that spring from undesired monopoly. . . ."
