Todo lo que pasa por La Plaza | Fm La Plaza 94.9

FM La Plaza 94.9 broadcasts from the city of Salta, and this feed gathers what goes out on it. The station insists, in its own station ID, that it is not a rock radio. What it is instead is talk. A recurring pair of voices anchors most segments, trading observations, correcting each other mid-thought, testing an argument out loud before landing on a takeaway. Columnists and guests arrive by phone or in studio and sometimes carry a whole stretch on their own. The political programme, Cuarto Oscuro, is led by Daniel Avalos, Gonzalo Teruel and Fidel Pujón, weekdays from 11 to 13. Its election coverage is granular and unsentimental. One analysis works through a governor who gained a senator and added a deputy, concedes that his own evaluation of the result is reasonable, then argues he should put the same energy into administration that he put into campaigning. Another thread weighs a presidential speech judged measured, cabinet changes pushed to December, and which figures were summoned and which were left out. The hosts do not hide their positions, but they extend the same scepticism to the parties that won. Away from politics the mood shifts. Eduardo Pesce brings a cinema column with Cinemark, running through Oscar results, a best picture that got a re-release after four wins, and a Lucrecia Martel documentary shot in Tucuman that Salta audiences caught in its second week. He gives a two-hour-forty adaptation of a novel by the author of El Marciano real attention, and then wanders into how bookfluencers on TikTok and Instagram are changing what people read. Music gets covered as reportage rather than rotation. A chronicle of the Gallagher brothers in Buenos Aires notes that tickets went on sale a year in advance, something without much precedent in Argentina, and that two nights felt entirely different because of the wind. Interviews are relaxed and curious. Ezequiel Campa, ahead of a stand-up show at the Usina Cultural, ends up in a long thought about whether music was genuinely better before or whether that is just the reflex of getting older and resenting the new. There is football talk too, including admiring notes on the state of the River pitch. The pacing throughout is brisk without being rushed. Sentences restart, examples pile up, and the point emerges from the accumulation rather than from a thesis stated up front. It assumes a listener who already knows the province, the parties and the names. For anyone outside Salta, that assumption is part of the appeal.
