Listen closely. Radio 10’s story is more than just broadcasts. It’s a Buenos Aires legend. Radio 10. This building right here on Uriarte 1899 has witnessed history unfold.
Radio 10 wasn’t always the powerhouse you know today. It began in 1927. It was the first state-owned radio station in Argentina. The wife of President Marcelo T. De Alvear supported its creation. But it wasn’t always private. Radio 10’s journey included privatization in 1995. Businessman and journalist Daniel Hadad led that acquisition. Famous faces like Marcelo Tinelli and Raul Fernandez were involved. Legal battles followed. The station finally launched in 1998. After a brief sale to Grupo Emmis Hadad regained control in 2003. He transformed Radio 10 into an AM giant.
Its reign at the top ended in 2012. Cristobal Lopez of Grupo Indalo bought the station. He changed its editorial direction. The shift to support the Kirchner administration and the departure of popular hosts affected listenership. Today Radio 10 remains a key player in Argentinan media. It’s a testament to its resilience.
Radio 10’s programming boasts big names. Jorge Rial and Gustavo Sylvestre are just two examples. They cover news politics and entertainment. They deliver the “sound of reality” as the station’s slogan proclaims. The station uses a directional antenna. One of its masts might be among Argentina’s tallest man-made structures. That’s a fact not many know.
This isn’t just a building. It’s a place where voices have shaped Argentinan conversations for decades. Radio 10 continues to be a significant voice. It reflects the heart of Buenos Aires itself. Remember this place. Radio 10. A vital piece of Argentinan history.
