Some rewards with low cost tonic | Martín Fierro from …

The Argentine radio had its annual feast yesterday. Given the country's situation and the environment in particular, the Martin Fierro Awards Ceremony was made at a low cost, not only for its deployment, but also for the strident sound of the laureates' speeches. This time, there is no controversy or discursive crosses like those of the previous year, but rather the loving meeting of workers from an environment affected by the economic crisis affecting the various stations. Andy Kusnetzoff, the host of Street dogs on Radio Metro, he was the big winner of the evening, when he won the Martín Fierro de Oro and the best driver. Cacho Fontana and Pinky received a sincere tribute to their career. This was the most moving moment of an evening that, with few exceptions, was a more discreet celebration than a space for debate. The crisis of the radio and its workers was the protagonist.

"It's been 16 years since all these people started with me, Perros de la calle, and here we are, 16 years later, every day, holidays, holidays, constantly working Street dogs. I think that's the recognition of that. To all the radio workers who are there every day. Let's hope that next year we can meet at this party and we will feel better, there will be less talk about the lack of work and more surprises for the amount of media that are open and hired. Radio is everything, it's our life" The words of an exhilarating Kusnetzoff, gold gaucho in hand, surrounded by his entire team, ended a ceremony during which the Aptra members took the time to hand out price for almost all resorts. Radio Miter, with six, was the most awarded radio, although Metro's five statuettes were re-evaluated for winning the gold medal. The network earned five statuettes, Radio con cuatro, while La 100 and Continental won two.

The AM 750 took a Martin Fierro for Behind what we see, which was chosen as the best general interest cycle in MA. "I wish to dedicate this prize to the 3,500 colleagues who have lost their jobs in the public and private media, because this government has not only emptied its pockets, but has also canceled the word," said Bernarda Llorente when she said received the statuette. He also thanked all those who make the 750, "who managed to make a small radio a reference in information, debate and plurality." "We who do this program are not independent, we depend on our subjectivity, a way to see the world, to see things from our point of view," Villarruel had already said.

As expected, the demonstrations and complaints were also part of the ceremony broadcast by Net TV. "The context is not really a party," said Silvina Brandimarte, best foreign columnist of last year. "I wish, he added, that things are better for so many radios." I accept the challenge of reformulating our work, but there are some very good radio stations in Argentina, so that the radio, Radio El Mundo and Radio Rivadavia, like mine, do not disappear. The network, which I carry in my heart, long live the radio, the radio of the journalists, and has once again confronted this work of artisbad journalist, beyond the networks. "The winning announcers of Martín Fierro, Veronica Castañares and Ricardo Guazzardi also referred to the critical situation of some radio stations due to mismanagement of business, such as Del Plata and Rivadavia.

The most moving part of the night was Aptra's joint tribute to Lidia Satragno and Cacho Fontana, presented by the great Hector Larrea, who once again demonstrated why he was the best of the best. "Auditors miss us a lot, they do not know how difficult it is to get away from this media that has been so generous with us Today, I say goodbye to my audience, say thank you is something so vulgar, but that's the truth, "Fontana said. Larrea asked Pinky if she wanted to say a word. "How can I not speak if radio and television are the only places I've never been scared of?", Replied the driver, getting the biggest ovation of the night.
