Cuban television needs to change and citizens are demanding further adjustments in the programming grid after the broadcast of soap operas according to Noticiero Estelar.
“Viewers express numerous disagreements with television programs. Sometimes they are wrongly absolute, but in other cases they are right,” said journalist Soledad Cruz Guerra on Facebook this Wednesday.
“Recently there have been irregularities in the broadcast schedules of Cubavisión’s regular programs. Some were notified, but others were not. And there’s no point in that when an informative note can avoid another reason for irritability in the midst of so many irritating circumstances.”
“Television, like every other productive sector in the country, is suffering from the effects of the economic crisis, from the brain drain to the lack of all financial resources for productions that tend to be particularly expensive, but in the middle of it.” “This situation, how in other parts of the country, which does not depend on these conditions, to be effective requires an effort to prevent one film from being announced and another being shown without any excuse,” he said.
“It is also time to review the informative designs in order to complement the improvements in the scenographic and scenographic elements of the national news broadcasts with content that better meets the information needs beyond the purely positive news at the national level and is more analytical Elements required.” national and foreign complexities that promote a better understanding of the general challenges of the times in which we live.
“It seems appropriate to reconsider the resource of dialogue between moderators and specialists when it does not flow as such, unnecessarily prolonging elements and repeating what viewers have repeatedly pointed out.”
“It would also be appropriate to re-examine each channel’s programming to check thematic or genre consistency, which does not guarantee that a variety of options are offered in prime time at night and particularly at weekends, taking into account potential viewers .”
“It’s about using the resources to ensure that we have a better way of programming and advertising, because sometimes, for example, important films are shown and attention is not drawn to them, as if this is the case with the not always attractive films on Saturdays “would be” in “Until Dawn”.
“There are segments of the population for whom television is a fundamental means of information and entertainment and they are the ones who generate the most complaints, although they only watch Cubavisión and do not take into account the other channels where there are also alternative proposals Show that this expression: No “There is nothing to see on TV” is not entirely true when considering the suggestions that go beyond novels and fiction series.
“And since television broadcasts 24 hours a day, there are spaces that you have to challenge and recognize others. There’s a lot of material to cut.”
In response to the request, several Cubans agreed that television programming needed to be improved.
“I am a consumer of night and weekend television. The weekend program bothers me a lot, even though I watch the programs from all the channels. The lack of immediacy and repetition of news in the news is an extraordinary and biggest waste of resources.” Reason for rejecting our television journalism. Canal Caribe could see serious progress in the future. Canal Habana multiplies its resources through good management of local information,” commented Lohania Josefina Aruca Alonso.
“It is necessary to analyze programs that cater more to personal interests than to the audience. How do you understand that, in a country where there are no motorcycles, a program like A todo motor, with motorcycle racing and Formula 1 that have a thousand lights?” years away? Also the constant repetition, in the RT style of programs and documentaries. Another thing: If Cuba is part of teleSUR, why not demand more diverse, more attractive, less didactic programs, creative, less repetitive to the point of tedium, more participatory and more “Everything is tailored to the requirements of current television: there can be participatory programs, soap operas and Musicals are made,” said Miguel Ángel Placencia.
“I think that Cuban television needs to rethink and critically examine all programs. The humorous rooms leave something to be desired and Vivir del corazón is even rejected due to the repetitions of the same programs. In my opinion there are too many musicals,” with the exception of Clave, which is understood as a channel specialized in this demonstration. In short, there is a lot, I would say too much, material to cut up. Uh. I must not forget the terrible drama conveyed by the news “I took it over. Unnecessary, ridiculous. It adds nothing and only manages to lengthen the room unnecessarily. It’s been said and repeated ad nauseum, but managers either don’t know it or want to ignore it,” said Cira Romero.
“We have extremely boring television, including news programs and information programs in general: interviews that go on too long, with commentators or interviewees who contribute very little and are the ‘Mepromatos of television.'” Too many stupid films with terrible quality in every respect . Quality humor is conspicuous by its absence and even Pánfilo starts to get boring. Times when programs with the same content are repeated at the same time on the few channels we have available. “Yes, there is a lot of fabric to cut,” said Juan Ariel Camacho.
“I don’t see a problem with television. In fact, I don’t watch TV,” said one Cuban.
