Caracas 750 Dinámica

Why it is in this Archive

Because no radio station took its alliance with the movement so far. Caracas 750 sponsored Betelgeuse, Sandy Lane and New York People, organized guerras de minitecas —the sound clashes of the movement, at the Poliedro, at the Parque Naciones Unidas and at the C.C.C.T.— and turned that relationship into stable programming: “El Proyecto 750” in 1986, with runs of 36 songs with no breaks mixed by Empire, Sky Way, New York People, Betelgeuse, Sandy Lane and The Drop, and “Pegaditas 750,” the countdown of the hits of the moment. Both have an entry of their own in this collection.

Its roster explains the rest: Ramón Mata, Iván Loscher, Julián Isaac, Tinedo Guía and William Alberto Alvarado in front of the microphone; William Rey in production management. Four of those names have an entry in this Archive's Voices That Left a Mark collection. The station also backed surfing competitions on the beaches of Vargas, martial arts tournaments and the 1986 marathon “100 Horas por la Juventud,” in aid of anti-drug organizations.

The programming that is remembered

• · “Pegaditas 750” — the countdown of the week's hits, with Ramón Mata; later “Pegaditas Quantum.”
• · “El Álbum de la Semana” — Iván Loscher's weekend show.
• · “American Top 40” — Casey Kasem's countdown, translated into Spanish.
• · “El Proyecto 750” — the mixes of the capital's minitecas over the network, from 1986.

The end of the youth era

Caracas 750 ceased to exist as a youth radio station on August 31, 1992: the frequency went back to its lifelong name, Radio Caracas Radio, with a 24-hour news format. The FM station Caracas 92.9, born in 1989, ended up inheriting that audience while the AM band lost ground. The historic signal went off the air at 750 AM by order of Conatel on April 30, 2019 and closed for good on June 29, 2023.

A precision about dates

La Tercera Guerra del Poliedro, of February 15, 1980, appears in the chronicles as sponsored by “Caracas 750.” It is worth making precise that on that date the station was still called Radio Caracas Radio: the youth brand “Caracas 750 Dinámica” started in 1984. It is the same signal, with the name it would have later. The chronicles of that sound clash also credit Rafael Flores on the station's behalf.
