1967-1974: CMCA Radio Cordón de La Habana

In 1973, the studios of Radio Cordón de La Habana were moved to Avenida 26 (also in the El Vedado neighborhood).[1] En 1974, the Cuban government announced the deactivation of the radio station before New Year's, its last broadcast of Radio Cordón de La Habana was on the evening of December 31.[1] Exactly at midnight on New Year's Day 1975, the station changed its name to Radio Metropolitana.[1]
