The Martín Fierro Federal 2025 was held for the first time in San Miguel de Tucumán, transforming the Hotel Sheraton into the epicenter of recognition for radio and television production from the Argentine provinces. With a sober and effective display, the Association of Argentine Television and Radio Journalists (APTRA) carried out a gala that, although without the pomp of Buenos Aires, demonstrated that the quality and professionalism of the interior deserve their place in the spotlight.
More than 500 guests participated in a night that aimed directly at consolidating the visibility of the cycles, provincial channels, and stations. The organization opted for a simple, neat, and unpretentious structure, focusing on the content and genuine work of the country's journalists, producers, and artists.
Buenos Aires figures, but with an interior soul
One of the key highlights of this edition was the strategic presence of television figures from Buenos Aires with personal or professional ties to the country's interior. Marina Calabró and Sergio Lapegüe made their debut as hosts of the ceremony broadcast by América, and Sofía Jujuy Jiménez and Flor Aramayo hosted the red carpet.
With a predominance of journalists and figures from the América channel who animated the gala, Pamela David, born in Santiago del Estero, was honored for her career and federal vision in the media.
Awards and highlights of the gala
The ceremony included emotional moments and significant tributes. The Tucumán comedian Miguel Gordillo received his well-deserved recognition. Meanwhile, the radio show "Yatewavisa", awarded as the best comedy, dedicated its statuette to Antonio Gasalla, adding a nod of respect to national humor.
Facundo Arana, was the one who presented the Fiction category. The tribute to the Tucumán theater director Sebastián Olarte was another highlight, recognizing the local cultural contribution.
Among the winners, the show "La picadita" won the General Interest award with a clear message in favor of independent journalism, highlighting that "it can be done without envelopes." Canal 10 of Mar del Plata was also honored for its six decades of history. Meanwhile, Panam received recognition for her 25 years in children's entertainment.
Gold for Mendoza and Rosario: journalism with a federal root
The most anticipated moment came with the presentation of the Martín Fierro de Oro. In radio, the top award went to "No tenés cara," from Radio Nihuil in Mendoza, a journalistic cycle that had already been awarded in its category. In television, the award went to Alberto Lotuf, from Telefe Rosario, who had also been recognized for his work in male hosting.
The presentation of these awards was led by the president of APTRA, Luis Ventura, who was also named an illustrious citizen by the Municipality of Tucumán. The city, in turn, declared the event of municipal interest, reinforcing the cultural impact of the gala in northern Argentina.
An experience that seeks to perpetuate
The 2025 edition of the Martín Fierro Federal took place without fanfare and served to give visibility to media and programs that rarely manage to stand out on the centralist radar of Argentine TV.
Although a few speeches sought to make some politically tinged criticism, those messages faded and did not achieve media significance.
