The moment of tension was experienced this Thursday on the air of Radio Miter , when Jorge Lanata was very offended by Marcelo Longobardi for giving him the space several minutes late after repeated warnings.
The driver of Lanata without a filter had anticipated that if his radio partner were unpunctual again, he would be silent for the same minutes that Longobardi stole from the air . This resulted in the journalist not emitting sound for three minutes , causing discomfort in the listeners and in the authorities of the station.
“Jorge is there but he is going to be silent for three minutes because that’s what they spent,” Lanata launched. “Oops, the one that is going to be assembled . Jorge, the listeners are heartless ”, commented his announcer while uncomfortable laughter was generated on the air and the operator put on sound effects. Finally, they chose to put on a musical theme and thus fill in the minutes of silence. ” We left Jorge, we sent him a hug , we listened to him this morning, greetings to all,” intervened, uncomfortable, Longobardi .
When he finally started to speak, Lanata asked her fellow program members, one by one, if they were upset about the situation. “Well, here we are. Are you angry, [Jesica] Bossi? ”. “Me, angry? Oh, where are we going Lanata ”, his colleague responded with humor. “You, Flavia [Pittella] , are you angry? You, Rolo [Beard] ? You, Diego Estevez ? Neither do I, we are going to start the program ”.
For their part, listeners gave their opinion on the tense moment on social media. “Lanata got mad at Longobardi for not delivering him on time? There was no pass and he was silent for three minutes, ”wrote one user. “Once Lanata got the TV show late and she was reading a book on the air, ” recalled another.
The final decision of Radio Miter
As reported to LA NACIÓN from the station in the last hours, Miter decided to suppress the broadcast of programs between the two journalists to avoid future friction . Thus, Every morning , from Longobardi, will be broadcast from 6 to 10 in the morning and, at the end, Lanata will begin without a filter , until 14, without the traditional exchange between the conductors.
