Interview José Ramón de la Morena: "Neither García nor I were a good example '"
This summer the waves will not be the same.
One of the greatest voices in sports radio will cease to resonate on the transistors of the Spanish.
And it is that
José Ramón de la Morena
has decided to
hang up the mike
when his contract expires, which expires in summer 2021. This has been announced by the now legendary presenter in
El transistor
, a program he has been directing since September 4, 2016 on Onda Cero : "I'm not going to keep doing this radio show. I can't keep coming home so late," he said.
The journalist is not going to extend his contract even though he
had a
two-
year
renewal proposal
on the table.
Of course, the 64-year-old from Madrid will continue to be linked to
Atresmedia
, although it has not transpired what his role in the group will be when he leaves
El transistor
.
De la Morena had been thinking about its continuity on the airwaves for a long time but has finally decided to leave the radio.
Perhaps his
recent paternity
, he became a father for the fourth time after the birth of what is his first child in common with
Laura Vázquez
, the 39-year-old woman with whom he began a romantic relationship, and also professional, in 2018, has helped the Madrilenian to make the decision.
In addition, the journalist has three children from his previous marriage to
María del Mar Escamilla
.
"I have had a son and I do not want to repeat mistakes of the past. I already know what it is to be in the elite but it costs more than it is worth. It takes away things that you cannot recover and that you have left over," he commented on his goodbye .
José Ramón de la Morena has been one of the most influential radio journalists in Spain.
His epic rivalry with another 'beast' on the airwaves,
José María García,
remains to be remembered
.
Their clashes during the 90s were reminiscent of
a kind of Madrid-Barça on the radio
, a fierce fight for audiences that even led to nights and nights of direct accusations.
The great competition between the two for the dominance of sports nights was born when De la Morena began to stand out in
El larguero
de la Cadena SER, a program that he
created and began directing in 1989 for 27 seasons
.
It was not easy for José María García, who was the true dominator of the airwaves, a reference that millions of Spaniards listened to every night.
De la Morena ended up having more audience than García and
their rivalry is today the history of Spanish radio
.
On September 3, 1989, De la Morena began in
the crossbar
Cadena SER, replacing
window to the sport
of
Julio César Iglesias
with the following words:. "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening This is
the window to the sport
, although that yes: we are painting it. My name is José Ramón de la Morena, and I am his new watchman of the sport ".
Today he said goodbye to his listeners after 32 years on the air in which
a
ra, ra, ra
dominated sports news
and has done so with words of gratitude: "Thank you, for being there."
