It was reported in MV-Eko 66-12 and January’s MWN [and in https://mediumwave.info/2025/11/19/argentina-48/ November 19th, 2025 / Ed] that CNN programming on 950 LR3 would cease on 19th December. It was expected to play music for a while before returning to its former identity as Radio Belgrano in “mid-January”.
The end of CNN on 950 after six years occurred, as anticipated, at 0400 on 20th December.After the witty insertion of a football referee’s full-time whistle, music started with the announcement “Una nueva radio está llegando – streAM 950”. You can hear the end of CNN here https://uk.radiocut.fm/audiocut/lr3-am-950-final-cnn-radio-argentina-y-comienzo-stream-950/ .
Listening today on LU4EEC’s KiwiSDR, the station is playing a mix of music – from excellent retro ska “Calaveras y Diablitos” by Argentine band “Los Fabulosos Cadillacs” to “I don’t like Mondays” by the Boomtown Rats (NB no use of Shazam or any artyfishul intellygence, just Mk.1 human ears). The station identifies (not too frequently) as “streAM 950”. In fact I heard the same ID mentioned above that followed the full-time whistle.
I think that this is the long term new format for the station, not just “until mid-January” – see
