Informa Radio debuts with the team Isac took from Radio Ya
Javier García Isac has a new microphone. The launch of Informa Radio, led by the former voice of Radio Ya, arrived with social media countdowns, an iOS and Android app, and a debut announced by Isac himself with a photo: "Testing my mic at @informaradio_". Behind this gesture lies a story of moves, departures, and grievances explaining why half a dozen prominent names in Spanish right-wing journalism have changed frequencies.
The station does not start from scratch. Isac brought along much of the team that accompanied him in his previous role, making this continuity both an asset and a burden. The project presents itself as an alternative to Decisión Radio, the outlet Isac left after a turbulent season.
What peine between Isac and Decisión Radio
The split was not amicable. According to circulating accounts, during Isac's second season leading his program at Decisión Radio, nearly all collaborators he had brought from Radio Ya were removed. The station even published a harsh farewell message, which was later withdrawn at Isac's request, according to the same sources.
Some argue the issue wasn't just about egos. The most repeated theory suggests that Isac, despite being a good person with good intentions, surrounded himself with a difficult-to-manage cast, and already had to drop valid collaborators during his time at Decisión Radio. The result, in any case, was a chaotic mess.
The transfer of collaborators to Informa Radio
The trickle of names is the most tangible aspect of the project. Collaborators linked to Falange (Spanish far-right party) have gradually migrated from Decisión Radio to Informa Radio. Bridges remain: some contributors still appear on both stations, and weekend programs with strongly ideological profiles keep their slots on the old schedule.
The move has political implications. This sector is attributed with often accurate international analysis and, simultaneously, poorly disguised envy toward Vox, the party that has taken their electoral space. The paradox is that this diagnosis comes from outside the party, not within it.
Carlos Paz, Tablero Internacional, and the gap left behind
Carlos Paz's departure is one of the episodes that best illustrates the reorganization. His program Tablero Internacional disappeared, likely because he couldn't sustain it, according to circulating versions. In its place appeared Análisis Internacional, led by Colonel Diego Camacho, which has established itself as a reference point for international strategy within the orbit.
There is no consensus on Paz. Some didn't consider him a broadcaster, while others recall he continued participating in discussions within La boca del lobo, the program Isac now broadcasts on Informa Radio. What disappeared was his own show, not his presence on air.
The lineup and the unexpected detail
Informa Radio launches with a lineup recovering formats recognizable to its audience. Isac discussed part of this reorganization in the 7:30 AM editorial within La boca del lobo, available on audio-on-demand platforms.
And yes, some are wondering if the weather forecast for the lands that were Philip II's empire will return—that Radio Ya detail that became an identity marker. It's a joke, but also a way to measure how much of the old station survives in the new one.
The project starts with a team, app, and microphone. What remains unclear is whether the audience that trinc Isac at Radio Ya and Decisión Radio will trinc him to this third frequency. That is where the analysis gets stuck.
