Canal Clave online television

Canal Clave is a Cuban free-to-air digital television channel operating in the music and cultural format. The channel was launched on June 10, 2013, as part of the introduction of Digital Terrestrial Television (TDT) in Cuba, making it the first channel to be broadcast exclusively through this technology. It was created to meet the demand for a channel specialized in musical content, covering the wide range of genres and groups that represent Cuban and international music. The channel is owned by the Instituto de Información y Comunicación Social, operated by Producciones CE2, and is based in Havana, Cuba. Its slogan is "La señal musical de Cuba" (The Musical Signal of Cuba).

On air, Canal Clave dedicates its entire 15-hour daily schedule from 9:00 AM to 12:00 AM to music-related content. The programming includes videoclips, concerts, documentaries, interviews, and other audiovisual materials featuring national and international artists, with a preference for Cuban creations. The channel covers a wide variety of musical genres, ranging from popular Cuban music and classical music to jazz, rock, rap, hip-hop, and electronic music.

The program schedule includes approximately 22 different programs. Daily programs include Cubanos en Clip (featuring Cuban music videos), Video Mundo (dedicated to foreign pop, rock, and hip hop videos), Clave Latina (featuring Spanish-language songs from both Cuban and international artists), Con Ciertos Preferidos (featuring presentations by foreign artists), and El Perfil (a space dedicated to a particular artist or group). Other notable programs include Top Clave, Clip.cu, Hora Rock, and Cubanísimos. The channel also airs specialized content such as Pasos (ballet and dance), Bell Canto (classical singing), Entre clásicos (classical music), and Lusofonía (Portuguese-language music). Musicologists and experts from the Cuban Music Institute contribute to the programming, with planned spaces for criticism and opinion.

The channel has a strong commitment to covering Cuba's most important musical events. It has provided extensive coverage of the Jazz Plaza Festival, Cubadisco International Music Fair, Romerías de Mayo, Fiesta de la Cultura Iberoamericana, and other cultural events nationwide. Notably, during the Cubadisco event, the channel was renamed "Canal Cubadisco" for a week, broadcasting 15 hours of daily content dedicated entirely to the festival. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Canal Clave formed alliances with the Ministry of Culture and the Cuban Music Institute to produce online concerts under the series "Estamos contigo," which remained on air for more than a year. The channel has also broadcast concerts by international artists, including a performance by Kazakh singer Dimash Kudaibergen.

Canal Clave is available throughout Cuba via Digital Terrestrial Television (TDT). Viewers with DTT receivers can watch the channel on their television sets.

Canal Clave strives to educate, inform, recreate, and entertain a diverse audience through high-quality musical programming that promotes Cuban identity and cultural richness while introducing viewers to international sounds. The mission of the channel is to provide a programming schedule that represents the best of Cuban and foreign musical creation, offering viewers a visually engaging and culturally enriching experience.
