Description

The U.S. has long provided the Cuban people with alternative sources of news and information. As part of this effort, in Dec. 2006 the International Broadcasting Bureau (IBB) awarded sole-source contracts to two Miami radio and TV stations -- Radio Mambi and TV Azteca -- to provide additional broadcasting options. Additionally, the Office of Cuba Broadcasting (OCB) annually awards millions of dollars in contracts for talent services -- writers, reporters, and technical support -- needed to produce and broadcast news and entertainment programming. This report evaluates the processes used to award: (1) the Radio Mambi and TV Azteca broadcasting contracts; and (2) talent services contracts. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.
