Sergio Vela
Sergio Vela is a prominent Mexican radio presenter and cultural figure known for his work in promoting opera and classical music through his long-running program 'La ópera en el tiempo.' Recently, he made headlines with an emotional announcement regarding the cancellation of his beloved show, which has been a staple of the Sunday radio lineup for 16 years. His resignation expressed disappointment over the decision made by the management of the Instituto Mexicano de la Radio (IMER) to end the program, citing a lack of funding and support for the arts. Vela's commitment to sharing the beauty of opera has garnered him a loyal audience, and his departure marks the end of an era in Mexican radio broadcasting.
