La Cadena de Las Americas (also known as CBS Network of the Americas) was an international nonprofit radio broadcasting network which was established through the cooperative efforts of the United States Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs (OCIAA) and the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) in an effort to support President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's cultural diplomacy initiatives throughout both North and South America during World War II. It served as an early example of the use of soft power by the United States.
