Botando el Golpe to move on to Zol 106.5

Changes are coming to radio’s most successful afternoon show, Jochi Santos’ "Botando el Golpe." Five years ago, when the popular TV show producer started the radio program, he never envisioned its phenomenal success. When the radio station requested his permission back then to register the name, he gave them green light. Now, Jochi Santos has accepted an offer he couldn’t refuse to produce his program for Zol 106.5, a competing station. But the name of the show, "Botando el Golpe," stays with Rumba FM, the station for which he has been producing the program. The station says it will produce a similar kind of program for the 5 to 8 pm time slot. The program’s success is attributed to the fact that most of its listeners are making their way back home at that time, and enjoy the light humor and listener contributions that liven up the time commuters spend in traffic jams. Jochi Santos says he will keep the style and segments of the program, but will surely add new material to the show that mixes humor and talk on what’s happening in the DR and how people see different situations.
