María O'Donnell dominates the 2026 Martín Fierro de Radio awards

The stage at the Goldencenter had a familiar rhythm for Argentine radio: lights, applause, presenters moving between awards and a room full of people who spend every morning or afternoon accompanying listeners. On a night devoted to radio, María O'Donnell became the central figure by winning two awards: the Martín Fierro de Oro, the highest recognition of the ceremony, and the prize for best female journalistic work.

Her double victory places O'Donnell at the center of an edition that recognized both established voices and programs with strong identities. The awards were presented by the Asociación de Periodistas de la Televisión y la Radiofonía Argentinas, and the ceremony was hosted by Luciana Rubinska and Luis Novaresio.

The awards for journalism and AM radio

In the categories related to conducting and information, Eduardo Feinmann won the Martín Fierro for best male journalistic work. Jonatan Viale and his team took the award for the best afternoon news program on AM for Pan y circo, while Rolando Graña received the corresponding morning award for Rolando por la mañana.

The list also included Gabriel Anello and his team, recognized for the best sports program with Súper Mitre deportivo. Alfredo Rosso won for La trama celeste in the musical programming category on AM, and Aspen Club, hosted by Diego Notario, took the award for the best music program on FM.

Cultural programming had its winner in Gustavo Campana, for Después de todo. Alejandro Cánepa was recognized in the agricultural category for La hora del campo, and Fernando Mancini and his team won the night program award for Acá hay buen fútbol.

The other winners and the tribute of the night

In the technical and production categories, Sebastián Bresler received the award for best male voice, Gigi Ribaloff won for female voice, Gabriel Marsili was recognized for his work in operations and El Delta Music Team took the award for best musicalization. The news service of Rotativo del aire was also honored as the best news service.

The ceremony included tributes to Julio Lagos and to Oscar "Negro" González Oro. The figure of O'Donnell, however, stood out in the evening's list of winners, together with Feinmann's recognition in the male journalism category. For listeners who want to hear the award-winning work, the weekend offers a broad radio itinerary: from Pan y circo to Después de todo, from Acá hay buen fútbol to the programs distinguished in music, sports and culture.
