Reyes de la noche
In late-1980s/early-1990s Spain, radio sports-journalism implicated an important range in power. Francisco Javier Maldonado, better known as Paco el Cóndor, a radio veteran and the most important sports journalist of 1980s Spanish radio, who knows the sports industry better than anyone and maintains a hegemonic leadership among radio ratings. Because of this, listeners admire him, players fear him, and club presidents, as well as the government, hate him. Until he faces new competition in the form of his pupil Jota, who confronts him. The other side of the coin is seen through Marga Laforet, a fellow intelligent journalist who sees how her radio show is moved to the late night in favor of prioritizing the more commercially-friendly show run by Jota and his team.
