Radio in Argentina is an important facet of the nation's media and culture. Radio, which was first broadcast in Argentina in 1920, has been widely enjoyed in Argentina since the 1930s. Radio broadcast stations totaled around 150 active AM stations, 1,150 FM stations, and 6 registered shortwave transmitters. [1]
Adding to the variety of the schedule was Argentina's first regular radio journal. [1] 1925 saw the introduction of mandatory callsigns for radio stations, and from now on the station was known as LOR Radio Argentina (changed 1934 into LR2 Radio Argentina, it being the second station on the dial from the left).
It started transmitting in 1937 as LRA Radio del Estado and changed its name to the current one in 1957. Since 1949, National Radio is also in charge of the Radiodifusión Argentina al Exterior, an international service that broadcasts in numerous languages. The radio's programs focus on Argentine news, and culture, and history, among other things.
After the military coup of September 1955, which removed Perón from power, SIRA was shut down by the new authorities. The station was relaunched as "Radiodifusión Argentina al Exterior'" [2] ("Argentine Radio Broadcast Abroad"), on February 12, 1958. RAE is operated by LRA1 Radio Nacional, Argentina's state radio network.
Reporters Without Borders and an organization representing Argentine media workers got together and formed a project known as the Media Ownership Monitor (MOM). MOM “investigated the most influential media in Argentina (TV, radio, print and online), with the aim to highlight who the media owners and their political and economic interests are.”
