New Cuban Decree Shuts Down On Programming by Radio-Tv The Cuban government has issued a decree setting up a list of new regulations radio and tv stations will be required to follow. The decree: Prohibits any criticism of government authorities. Rules out all speech or gestures that may be construed as having a double meaning and all advertising that misleads or "cheats the public." Requires radio and tv stations to devote at least 5% of their broadcast time to educational or cultural affairs. Warns tv stations not to show films which have not been approved by the film review board of the Ministry of Interior and requires that a film be preceded by a statement regarding its acceptability for viewing by children. In announcing the new decree, Ramon Vasconcelos, Cuban Minister of Communications, said: "We must prevent the use of vulgar language, expressions of bad taste and anvthing which is detrimental to good manners and customs, culture, public decorum, or anything which is immoral or indicates flouting of the law." Three Canadian Outlets Join CBS-TV as Secondary Affiliates Three Canadian television stations, CHAT-TV Medicine Hat, Alta., CHBC-TV Keiowna, B. C, and CKRN-TV Rouyn, Que., have joined CBS-TV as secondary affiliates, according to Edward P. Shurick, CBS-TV vice president and director of station relations. CBS-TV affiliates in Canada now total 30. CHAT-TV has joined the network as a non-interconnected station. Efi'ective on or about Dec. 15, the station will be connected to the live network by microwave connection. CHBC-TV, which went on the air Sept. 21, will be a non-interconnected station, but will have satellite stations in Vernon, B. C, ch. 7 and Penticton, B. C, ch. 13. CKRN-TV is scheduled to go on the air during October as a non-interconnected station. CHAT-TV, which operates on ch. 6, is owned and operated by Monarch Broadcasting Co. CHBC-TV, ch. 2, and CKRNTV to operate in ch. 4, are owned and operated by Okanagan Television Co. and Northern Radio-Radio Nord Inc., respectively. The three stations will have the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. as agent. 3 More Australian Cities Ask Tv The prospect that commercial television will gain new impetus in Australia was seen last week with a report the Postmaster General there has announced the government is accepting station applications for Perth, Hobart, Adelaide and Brisbane. Local observers earlier had predicted bids would be received only for Brisbane. Stations now are operating in Sydney and Melbourne with an estimated 106,000 sets in use at the end of the first year. Radio Liberation Reply to Soviet In view of the world-wide interest in the integration controversy in the South, Radio Liberation recorded an interview last Monday with Hulan Jack, a Negro, who is president of the Borough of Manhattan, for broadcast to the Soviet Union two days later. Mr. Jack sought to reply to accounts of U. S. racial tensions broadcast and published by the Soviet radio and press. The broadcast was carried in Russian and 17 other languages of the Soviet Union. CFBR to Begin in October CFBR Sudbury, Ont., opens as a new 1 kw station on 550 kc in October. The station will share its antenna with CHNO Sudbury, and will broadcast programs in French.
