La Ocho AM 830

La Ocho AM 830 - LT8 Radio Rosario - is one of the oldest stations in Argentina. It was formally founded on 16 July 1927, the second broadcaster to appear in Rosario, though its roots go back further, to Radio Colon, an amateur station that first went on air from the back room of a bicycle shop on Salta street. Over nearly a century the station changed names, owners and addresses before settling into its present identity.

Today La Ocho is heard on AM 830 and FM 92.9, with a schedule centered on local news, journalism, sports and entertainment. Since 2015 its studios have worked inside the building of La Capital, the main newspaper of Rosario, on Sarmiento street, which keeps the radio close to the biggest newsroom of the region. The live online stream carries the historic AM signal to listeners anywhere, nearly a hundred years after that first broadcast from the bicycle shop.
