Iñaki Gabilondo, a fundamental figure in the history of Spanish journalism, returned home today. The announcer’s voice came back on air to announce the news after the 8:00 signal, as he did for so many years leading Hoy por Hoy on Cadena SER. “It’s eight in the morning, seven in the Canary Islands. It’s Tuesday October 15 and it will be a rainy Tuesday across much of the peninsula,” he began.
The journalist returns to Cadena SER as part of the special programming to celebrate the centenary of the channel. “I’m like always: excited and nervous. From day one until today, every time the melody sounds and the red light comes on, I feel a little twinge. Always and today too”, he explained to Àngels Barceló. Later, his previous presenter, Pepa Bueno, current director of El País, also returned to the microphones of Hoy por Hoy; Ana Blanco will give the news from 10:00 a.m. and Carles Franganillo for the 11:00 a.m. bulletin.
Gabilondo, also a former director of “Hora 25,” called radio “a hot media.” “You can like radio. The relationship between radio and the listener is a family relationship. It’s media that gets into your car, your kitchen, your bathroom, your bed,” he said.
Gabilondo said goodbye to Cadena SER in 2021 and in 2022 he said goodbye to television. The historical journalist the drama remained in an interview with Vertele: “Career is not separate from life. Growing old is a process in which you are constantly saying goodbye; Getting old means saying goodbye.
