MIAMI -- The U.S. government-funded Radio Marti will broadcast the NBA
finals live to audiences in Cuba.

The Office of Cuba Broadcasting announced Thursday it will air
play-by-play commentary of this year's matchup of the Miami Heat and San
Antonio Spurs.

The U.S. has been broadcasting to Cuba for more than two decades. Radio
and TV Marti air news, commentary and entertainment stories with the aim
of promoting access to information in Cuba.

Critics of Radio and TV Marti say the programs are ineffective and have
limited reach on the island.

This year marks the office's second partnership with the NBA.
