In 2015, Onda Cero renewed itself to continue growing. The recruitment in April of Carlos Alsina and Juan Ramón Lucas to the new morning show Más de uno, and the presence of David del Cura on the night-time news programme, La brújula, in replacement of Alsina, reaffirms the model of a varied, close at hand and participatory radio that defines Onda Cero.
Onda Cero celebrated its 25th anniversary with a renewed commitment that looks to the future.
Atresmedia Radio rounded off a historic 2015: its second-best year in terms of profit with an Ebitda Margin of 24.3%. Income of Atresmedia Radio (+10.6%) was above market growth (+8.1%) due to an attractive programming and an efficient commercial policy.
