“Everything we do is for the athletes, for those here present today, whom I see as medal winners already. We want them to be the great heroes, the values of Peru, and to climb up the podium. We want people to recognize everything they do for Peru and the RPP Group will help us by broadcasting all competitions live. We're going to leave a historical legacy because we all play,” said Carlos Neuhaus.
Then, Juan Antonio Silva emphasized the signing of this agreement, which makes the RPP Group the official radio station of Lima 2019. “It’s an important agreement because we’re adding a strategic ally, so that everyone can know the benefits of hosting the Pan American and Parapan American Games in Peru,” he said.
Also, the General Manager of the RPP Group pointed out that this agreement will give greater recognition to the efforts of athletes. “They’re a positive role model, and we must highlight their sacrifice. We have witnessed the effort of Lima 2019, so that the Pan American Games are an example for Peruvians. We’re sure that the athletes will live up to everything that is being prepared for them,” said Ernesto Cortes.
With this agreement, the multi-platform of the RPP Group (radio, television and digital) will produce permanent information, so that the Games are of national interest and Peruvians live the most significant sports experience of their lives.
The winner of the radio broadcasting rights will devote 955 hours to the circulation of interviews, microprograms and breaking news, as well as to the live transmission of the Pan American and Parapan American Games competitions.
Through the seven radio stations that make up the RPP Group (Radio Programas del Perú, Radio Capital, Corazón, La Zona, Studio 92, Felicidad and Oxígeno), we will seek to spread the values and legacy of Lima 2019 to promote changes in our society. At least four breaking news will be broadcast daily and each time a Peruvian obtains a medal and beats a national record at the Pan American and Parapan American Games.
As part of the exclusive broadcasting rights contract, the RPP Group undertakes to promote the event.
Six of the best Peruvian athletes such as María Fernanda Reyes (Surf), Diego Elías (Squash), Alessia Burga (Archery), Mía Rodríguez and Gonzalo Besada (Basque pelota), and Hugo del Castillo (Taekwondo) also participated in this protocol event.
