The new season of Ràdio Túria, presented last Friday, October 2nd, blends the continuation of its regular programs with new proposals aimed at increasing participation and local content. Among the notable additions is «Voces de Abadia», a monthly program focused on mental health, created by its participants. Also joining is «Hablamos», hosted by Toni Pinós, which will bring the stories and experiences of l'Eliana's residents to the audience.
These new additions complement established programs such as «Música Supersnob», the longest-running, «La hora de los clásicos», «Hits inolvidables», «La taberna del rock», and the celebrated «Nacional 3». The schedule is rounded out with content from the Xarxa d’Emissores Municipals Valencianes (Network of Valencian Municipal Radio Stations) and other external productions, offering a diverse range of music, film, culture, education, and current affairs. This collaboration also enables programs produced in l'Eliana to reach other municipal stations.
A key moment of the presentation was the recognition of «Nacional 3»'s fifteen-year trajectory. Throughout this period, the program has provided listeners with current music, interviews with established and emerging artists, concert listings, and a look at the sounds of the eighties. The anniversary concluded with a special appearance by Marina Alba.
During the event, the Councilor for Communication, Jorge Pérez Comeche, thanked the volunteers who make the station possible, highlighting their weekly contributions. He also acknowledged Manolo Villada, the director and driving force behind the station for over thirty years, who recently retired. The councilor emphasized Ràdio Túria's role as a close public service, open to associations, local projects, and citizens.
The season, during which Ràdio Túria will celebrate its 35th anniversary on air, also includes new educational initiatives. The Oficina de Promoció Lingüística (Language Promotion Office) will organize training sessions for teachers at the radio station's facilities, aiming to equip educational centers with the tools to create their own podcasts and promote the use of Valencian on the airwaves.
Furthermore, the radio station is advancing in the modernization of its website and the renovation of its studio's image, which will incorporate new elements to facilitate program production, recording, and broadcasting.
