On August 1st, 1936, the new frequency named CMKO was added to the radio spectrum. Broadcasting from 21 Desamparados Street, very close to what is now Martí Park.
Its founder, Manuel Angulo Farrán, became a martyr of the Cuban Revolution for his involvement in the revolutionary process. He was vilely assassinated in 1957 by the Fulgencio Batista dictatorship in the crime known as the Bloody Easter.
In his honor, after the triumph of the Revolution on January 1st, 1959. The station adopted his surname, consolidating its position as the main radio station in the Holguin region.
For nearly nine decades, Radio Angulo has been a pioneer in the creation and broadcast of radio soap operas, short stories, variety shows, and talk shows. Earning a prominent place on the national scene for its contribution to information, culture, and entertainment.
Its news department, with rigor and courage, has been at the forefront of broadcasting events for the province of Holguin and the rest of the world. Through its website and on-demand audio, with excellence journalistic and commitment to its citizens.
And what can we say about the listeners? Those who feel the radio is their eternal companion. Who constantly call to thank us for our work, who become like family every time they tune in to Radio Angulo.
