There is one local TV station in La Paz, and there are 2-3 other
stations which air rebroadcasts of satellite transmissions from
Mexico City. The channels are:
Ch. 2 Mexico City
Ch. 6 Mexico City
Ch. 10 La Paz
Ch. 12 = Ch. 2 (at least since Fall, 1990)
There are no local broadcasts in English on either TV or radio.
On Sundays there will be U.S. movies shown on Ch. 10.
However, recently these have tended away from subtitles in
Spanish to dubbing in Spanish.
For those anxious for U.S. news there is KNX (1070 AM) in Los
Angeles. This news-oriented radio station comes in rather well
after sundown.
"The News" is a daily English-language newspaper published in
Mexico City, and is available at a number of stands in La Paz.
The local newspaper, "El Sudcaliforniano," contains an
English-language article each Saturday (entitled "BCS Today" and
written by Jane Firstenfeld). This article contains some
general information on goings-on about La Paz, as well as a
synopsis of the weeks local news.
La Paz has two movie theaters in the downtown area, and there
may be others which have sprung up in the general area. The
theater (actually a dual theater) on Revolucion just south of
the central plaza often shows U.S. movies with Spanish
subtitles.
