LT32 Radio Chivilcoy 1550khz taken off air twice due to vandalism/metal thieves.
Exactly one week ago, Radio Chivilcoy was affected in its usual programming by a power outage at the plant caused by criminals who literally ripped out the cables and the box on the way down.
This caused Radio Chivilcoy and FM Sónica to be off the air for more than four hours, until personnel from the station and from the internet supply company that has its equipment in the tower located on Rossetti and 102nd Street were able to repair the damage.
Today, seven days after this event, such an act of vandalism is repeated, once again leaving the two most important radio stations in the city off the air, again in hours close to noon, this, in addition to the damage it causes to the media, is an act highly dangerous since in such a place the electrical tension that is handled is 380 volts.
Those who have carried out this violation may or may not be aware of the high risk to their lives.
