The human voice in Radio Reloj

Thursday, 18 March 2010 15:28 | Written by Editorial Staf

The human voice, live, is present during the Radio Reloj´s 24 hours broadcast. The speaker of this plant has a 4 hours stay in the broadcasting station; three of them before the microphone, in that time he reads more than 15 thousand words.
After one hour of reading the news, the speaker rests for half an hour; next he/she returns to the cabin for another hour and rests for 30 minutes again. After this, he/she completes his/her last hour before the microphone.

Speakers in Radio Reloj work in pairs, so they assume two positions: Speaker 1 and Speaker 2. In a sheet for two speakers, Speaker 1 reads first and third paragraphs, while Speaker 2 reads the second one and the fourth one, and has the responsibility to say what time it is.

In order to be able to rest half an hour, a third Speaker replaces the speaker who´s resting temporarily. That is a rotatory system per hours; that is to say, in one hour a speaker occupies position 1 and the next one he/she changes for position 2.

When the news, commentaries or interviews are written in a sheet for one speaker, the minute is read by only one speaker completely.

History

An unusual movement of students was evident around the University of Havana, that March 13, 1957. Also, those who were near the Presidential Palace listened to fire firings, shortly after 3:00 o´clock in the afternoon. Inside the mansion everything was hell.

At 3:21 in the afternoon of March 13, 1957, José Antonio arrived at the Radio Reloj´s booth and gave to the speakers several reports, that informed about the attack to the Presidential Palace and from an alleged report issued by officers and enlisted personnels that would have taken the control of the Army, after dismissing the high officers and officials of the tyranny.

The Cuban leader Fidel Castro has described the attack to the Presidential Palace on March 13, 1957 as "an well organized operation, an act of extraordinary boldness and bravery, in which there also were failures and unforeseen facts".

That March 13 1957 was signaled in Cuban history as the day when for a few seconds tyrant Fulgencio Batista was almost executed by a group of students, in his own office.

The sixteen lines

Become a school for speakers and journalists, Radio Reloj has set out the guidelines in language and demands its editors to fulfill certain rules when it comes to writing the news, that must be in sixteen lines, structured in four paragraphs.

Radio Reloj wireless style

The Radio Reloj special wireless style, that offers the national and international news with immediacy, brevity, clarity and veracity, besides the march of the time, minute by minute, during the 24 hours of the day, forced the use of a brevity in expression to avoid the divorce between the oral word by the speaker and the word written by the editor or the reporter.

News in only a minute

Sheets for two speakers must have between 15 and 16 written lines, and those for a speaker, between 13 and 15. If the information meets that requirement and the speaker from the beginning reads to n suitable rate, he must conclude in the exact minute.
