2023 – DAY OF THE ANNOUNCER. National Announcer Day is celebrated in commemoration of the date of 1943 on which the Argentine Society of Announcers was founded.
The remembered Roberto Galán was one of its founders. “The first person who came up with the idea of uniting us was Jorge Homar Del Río, who had attended Radio El Mundo. When we were waiting for some kind of script to be given to us, Del Río asked about forming an entity that would bring together the announcers (…) With some books that I contributed, we inaugurated a small library, bought a typewriter, and opened a Minutes Book. Then began the great task of incorporating the Interior and forming the subsidiaries”, Roberto Galán recounted many years ago.
