Radio Con Vos Cancels Four Programs and Lays Off 28 Employees in Financial Overhaul

Urgent cost pressures have led the station to promise low-cost replacements, upholding its editorial independence.

Overview

  • Four shows—including Buenas tardes, China; Todo marcha acorde al plan; Que no panda el cúnico; and Podría ser peor—ended broadcasts on August 4 under the new grid reorganization.
  • About 28 hosts, columnists and producers were laid off after content director Ariel Said described a “sangría importante” draining the station’s finances.
  • Owner Gabriel Hochbaum’s December acquisition of 70% of Radio Con Vos left the station with heavy debts and stalled advertising growth.
  • An official board statement cited the need for economic sustainability and stressed that Radio Con Vos remains independent of any political affiliation.
  • Management plans to introduce leaner, lower-cost information cycles in the vacated time slots to secure the station’s future viability.
