El infante Raúl ha concedido que (algunos) cubanos puedan celebrar los 50 años del arribo de la TV a Color a la Isla. Decidió, para la conmemoración, autorizar (nuevamente) la venta de estos equipos. De los precios, mejor, no hablemos
Desde que tengo memoria, los televisores han entrado y salido de la circulación (¿mercantil? ) en varias ocasiones, esperemos que este regreso sea el definitivo

Imagen/Television History
Color television arrived in Cuba in 1958. Havana's Channel 12 aired in color using some RCA telemovie equipment capable of processing color television images. After 1959, however, Channel 12 no longer broadcast color programming. Many years later, once the Caribe station began operation, the technical staff of the Cuban Institute of Radio and Television began to reactivate the old Channel 12 color television equipment and to redesign and adapt new SECAM studio equipment obtained from the Soviet Union. These efforts demonstrated the possibility of transmitting in color using the NTSC standard through the existing broadcasting network. Other tests were carried out with the SECAM color standard with acceptable results.
Selection of a color standard for Cuba was conditioned not only by technical factors, but also by economical, social, and political ones. The final government decision reached at the end of 1974 was to stick to the national color television standard (the NTSC standard). This was the standard used by most countries in the Caribbean geographical area. Using a different standard would isolate Cuba from its neighbors. Once the government made this decision, the country rapidly acquired color remote control equipment from NEC in Japan, while existing Soviet equipment was duly modified for color transmission. The first standard color transmission in Cuba via the Caribe ground station took place in 1975. (The Recent History of Satellite Communications in Cuba by Roberto Diaz-Martin)
