However, the reform has not been well received by Catalunya Ràdio employees, according to the station's professional council in a public letter. In the letter, they assert that, although the transformation process initially encouraged the staff, the excitement has turned into "concern and sadness." "Today marks the completion of the final stage, and the saddest, due to its symbolism: dissociating the news services from the Catalunya Ràdio brand," they state. </p>]]></description>

At nine in the morning, Ariadna Oltra had to stop her talk show<em>In the mornings </em>to make way for her colleague's interview. A move that led to an unusual and somewhat acrimonious start to the season for the journalist, who had to cede her program time to the omnipresent Ustrell. However, Oltra gracefully and naturally integrated the interview and took advantage of it to offer a post-broadcast analysis with her collaborators.</p>]]></description>

In recent years, they have frequently been the subject of parliamentary questions in which the parties most critical of TV3 and Catalunya Ràdio have denounced messages posted by public media professionals on their private social media profiles. The Catalan Corporation of Audiovisual Media (CCMA) is searching, but has not found, a formula that balances the freedom of expression of its employees with maintaining the image of neutrality that is assumed for a publicly paid entity. In the case of 3Cat, a proposal has been in the works for six months, according to ARA, but it has not yet been submitted to the CCMA's governing council and, therefore, has not received a response, nor does it plan to do so in the short term.</p>]]></description>

Broadcaster Xavier Solà will no longer be the presenter of <em>The Night of the Ignorant</em> at the end of the season, according to ARA. The public broadcaster's veteran quiz show, on the air since 1987 and with 37 seasons under its belt, is looking for a new voice, who will emerge through internal promotion from the station's professionals.</p>]]></description>

According to the General Study of Media published yesterday, the fourth most-listened-to radio station (the focus is Spain) is RAC1, with one million listeners, more than Radio Nacional in all of Spain, and the seventh is Catalunya Ràdio, with 777,000. To understand the strength of Catalan-language radio in Catalonia, these figures can help: the two Basque channels combined make up 270,000 listeners, Canal Sur reaches 239,000, and Radio Galega 118,000. Anyone who wants to reach Catalan society must go through Catalan channels.</p>]]></description>

After several EGMs in which RAC1 was close to reaching a million listeners, it has finally broken through this psychological barrier, albeit by a hair: 1,001,000 followers, representing 137,000 more than in April of last year. No other station in the country had ever achieved this seven-figure mark. It has achieved this, moreover, without being detrimental to its direct rival, Catalunya Ràdio, which also improved its results compared to a year earlier, going from 626,000 to 716,000 listeners, thus matching its best historical figure from the first wave of 2019. SER, meanwhile, is third from a distance, with 386,000 listeners. The ranking continues with Cope (269,000), Onda Cero (137,000), and RNE (119,000).</p>]]></description>
