CHTV was a unique channel because it was a project with young fourth-year students of the Bachelor of Journalism at the University of Havana together with only three professional journalists and a group of engineers, filmmakers and technicians from various areas of the ICRT.[1] In a second moment, he moved to the studios of P and 23 where he consolidated his professional work with investigative and interpretive journalism.
