Programmes

[edit]

El gallo

[edit]

It is the station's flagship programme, broadcast on weekdays from 06:00 to 10:00. As it is usual in the morning zoo genre, El gallo relies on the integration with the audience by offering prizes (concerts tickets, CDs, T-shirts) in funny contests and quizzes.

R8ck / R20ck

[edit]

R8ck ("Rock 8") is the daily countdown of the station, broadcast on weekday evenings. The weekly countdown is R20ck ("Rock 20"), on Saturdays between 12:00 and 14:00. Before the Planeta rock era, the weekly countdown was the Top 40.

El duelo

[edit]

The programme features two artists' songs so as to present them to voting. Fans can vote either by phone or internet. It is broadcast jointly with R8ck.
