The Radio La Colifata has made a public complaint on the networks where they pointed out against Vorterix and, mainly Mario Pergolinifor taking away the frequency on which they have been transmitting for more than 30 years.
This project was born to be “a non-profit NGO called Civil Association ‘La Colifata, Mental Health and Communication’which develops activities in the area of ​​research and provides mental health services using the media to create health spaces.”
Since its inception, the radio has struggled to obtain the station’s definitive license, which they obtained but with the change of Vorterix, its continuity was affected. For this reason, its authorities released an official statement explaining that “In recent days, numerous media outlets have reported that our historical frequency, FM 100.3, will be occupied by another well-known station. Without having been officially informed, they leave us without air”.
“Paradoxically, they claim that 100.3 FM has neither programming nor air in the AMBA, as if we didn’t existbut they affirm that the move will be with “air cleaning”. Despite these explanations that they recently received, they explained that they had not been notified about said decision and that they found out through the media.
What is Radio La Colifata
Also, remember that “La Colifata is the first radio station in the world to transmit from a neuropsychiatric hospital.”. Alive, and on the air for more than 33 years, our radio is a mental health project that managed to forge an important place within our national culture. Being, in turn, an inspiration and model for health projects around the world.”
“Five years ago, and after much effort, we were assigned the definitive license to transmit on the FM 100.3 frequency. Today we are one step away from losing it“, they revealed.
Besides, “we have shown that radio – and the media in general – can be useful tools for creating health, helping thousands of people in their process of subjective improvement, and the community to retrace prejudices and develop health actions.”
Finally, they asked their audience for help to try to reverse this situation: “We exist because there was always someone else who made a place for us. We appeal to the entire community so that the voices of the colifatos can continue to be heard with increasing force in the ether“.
Why Vorterix changed the radio frequency
Mario Pergolini surprised by announcing that Vorterix will no longer air on FM 92.1 and, although he did not delve into details, the radio argued that it is due to a change in frequency.
“Starting May 1st we will no longer go out on 92.1. Tuesday the 30th is the last day,” the host revealed in his program, Curse.
“Radio is dead. It makes no sense to pay the electricity bill, the more power you need, the more light, we are not willing to pay those oppressive prices, and there are not many people listening either.“he replied ironically Pergoliniperhaps chicaning Alejandro Fantino that days ago he complained about how much he paid for electricity in Neura.
After the commotion and confusion, from the radio’s X account they wrote: “Clarification. In the complete program it is clear that The decision has nothing to do with the cost of electricity (it was a joke), but with a change in frequency. “It would be good if you saw the full fragment.”
