That was a hoot! Especially, the beginning when the fake operators contact Chavez' minions and "Castro" keeps mumbling on the background.

IMO, most Miami Spanish radio stations, as well as the two Spanish news stations, are owned by big conglomerations, i.e., not conservative, and not necessarily sympathethic to the Cuban exile or the Venezuelan exile who has been oppressed by the respective dictators.
I can remember when some of the Spanish talk stations in Miami even ran advertisements for the Elian movie! So even though most of their hosts are anti-Castro, management determines what gets broadcast and often that management isn't even made up of Cuban exiles.
The only station I'll listen to anymore is lapoderosa.com because the owner, Jorge Rodriguez, would rather lose money than compromise his principles.
Ninoska Perez from 1140 a.m. is famous for making these phone calls to Cuba. Once on the air, she read a newspaper article where a Cuban fisherman had to go to jail for catching a lobster and eating it with his family and then she called a tourist restaurant in Cuba and requested to have lobster delivered. The punch line was that she wanted lobster delivered to some common people who were malnourished in Cuba instead of the tourists and military.
Some of her funniest calls are when she talks faster than usual which makes her sound like a Cuban who lives on the island vs. a Cuban exile, and the Cuban bigshots she calls assume that she is calling from the island since the dialects here and there are quite different. I remember once she called a Communist party bigshot in Cuba and then revealed that she was Ninoska Perez from Miami. Then the next day, she called that same bigshot and told the bigshot that she would have to be more careful not to let Ninoska get through and make a fool of her all over the airways, in Fidel's earshot even. The bigshot assumed that she was talking to someone from the Communist party again and it turns out to be Ninoska again.
The best part is that a lot of these radio stations's prank calls can be heard 90 miles away on bootleg radios all over Cuba!
If you can understand Spanish, there is a link to a real audio and mp3 files HERE, in the center of the page just below the picture of the two DJ's.
