ARGENTINA: in the northern province of Chaco, Radio Nacional Resistencia is celebrating 40 years on the air.

LRA 26 Radio Nacional Resistencia began broadcasting under that name on September 16, 1981 and is the successor of LT 5 Radio Chaco.

During the ceremony, the head of the Institute of Culture, Mariela Quirós, said: "We know what a media outlet means in everybody’s life. We grow with its sound in the background, which in the case of radio is even more significant, because of its educational possibilities. That’s an enormous responsibility. And precisely, those who work at Radio Nacional honor that responsibility".

On her part, the director of Radio Nacional Resistencia, Silvia Villavicencio, highlighted that the radio station "is a radio of informative quality, of content quality and that demands time, preparation and a lot of commitment".

More news from Argentina. In Ushuaia, in the province of Tierra del Fuego, next October 7 is the deadline for the presentation of bids to those interested in the operation of an AM Radio, in a bidding called by ENACOM, the national communications agency, for the 960 KHZ frequency.

PERU

The national government has dismantled two illegal radio stations that had been operating from the top of the Nuevo Amanecer hill, in the district of Puente Piedra.

These "pirate" radios were transmitting for the districts of Puente Piedra, Comas and Carabayllo using frequency bands not authorized by the Ministry of Communications. According to Peruvian law, this amounts to a theft of the radio spectrum, as it generates interference in the signals of several local radio stations. It also causes considerable economic losses to the Peruvian State.

The seized stations operated under the name of "Radio Antena Uno" and "Radio La Titular", on the FM frequencies 95.2 MHz and 90.8 MHz respectively.

In both cases, transmission systems and antennas were seized.
According to the Ministry, advanced technology and drones are used to detect and then shut down these illegal signals.

The districts of San Juan de Lurigancho and Comas are the areas where most pirate radios are reported around the capital Lima area, while on the national level Cajamarca, Puno, Huánuco, La Libertad, Lambayeque and Piura are the zones with the highest illegal broadcasting activity levels.

On August 25, 2021, the 'News Showcase' initiative was launched, with the participation of local networks Caracol Radio and W Radio, the two main news brands of Prisa Media in Colombia.

On a daily basis, Google News users will be able to find original, exclusive, in-depth content produced by Caracol Radio and W Radio.

Felipe Cabrales Urdaneta, CEO of Caracol Radio said about this new feature: "We are very proud that two of our brands are part of the first group of radios in News Showcase worldwide".

According to Urdaneta, "Google has not only trusted Colombia as the third market in Latin America, but also placed their trust in Caracol Inc. to strengthen the delivery of high quality news and information content, while fighting disinformation and 'fakenews'”.

So far, this alliance between Google and the media had only taken place in the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, India and Australia, and recently in Brazil and Argentina, exclusively for traditional print media.
