The CEO of Alofoke Media Group took the opportunity to publicly thank those who have been part of the project over the years, highlighting the contributions of figures such as Melvin de Le\u00f3n, DJ Topo, Cristian Casablanca, Luinny Corpor\u00e1n, Chico Sandy, Mois\u00e9s Salce, El Pach\u00e1, and Sabrina G\u00f3mez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You might be interested in:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/entretenimiento\/bulinrevelaporquenoparticipo\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"669526\">Bul\u00edn 47 reveals the reasons why he did not participate in Planeta Alofoke<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cI wanted to share during this prime time with the entire audience the official announcement of the end of an era. Today I gathered my colleagues of many years here to communicate the closing of Alofoke Radio as a program and as a show. We will take with us great moments and I thank everyone who was part of this story,\u201d expressed Mat\u00edas during the live broadcast.<\/p><cite>expressed Mat\u00edas during the live broadcast.<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The communicator also explained that the decision responds to the natural evolution of the project and the changes the platform has experienced in recent years. \u201cAlofoke Radio has already reached its peak, what I understand was its mission. We no longer go to the booth every day, barely twice a week, and I really cannot be selfish. I have to let everyone continue to develop professionally,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mat\u00edas acknowledged that the news may be difficult for the audience that has followed the program for years, but assured that the measure was agreed upon with his team. \u201cI know that for many people it is a bittersweet decision, but to do an intermittent program, it is better to close chapters. We are doing what our hearts dictate,\u201d stated the businessman, who also asserted that entertainment and opinion formats have evolved toward new platforms and audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"PLANETA ALOFOKE - D\u00cdA CUARENTA Y SEIS\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OAqh7KV-r3I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Likewise, he confessed that the closure would represent an important change in his career, although he considers it necessary to bet on new projects. \u201cOf course I will miss the format, I will miss you all very much. I have always tried to innovate and do new things. I don&#8217;t want to become just another one in a market where there are already too many podcasts and too many people talking,\u201d he expressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the announcement, several of his colleagues, including Vitaly and Nastra, reacted by expressing their disagreement with the decision, highlighting the surprise the news generated within the team itself. This is not the first time the closure of the program has been proposed, as in 2023 Mat\u00edas had announced a similar measure amidst controversies that affected the show. However, Alofoke Radio Show managed to stay on the air and consolidate itself as a mandatory reference for Dominican digital communication, with an audience that transcends the country&#8217;s borders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Santo Domingo.\u2013 The businessman and content creator Santiago Mat\u00edas, known as Alofoke, surprised viewers this Friday night by announcing to more than two million spectators connected during the broadcast of Planeta Alofoke the possible definitive departure of Alofoke Radio Show, one of the most influential and iconic digital programs in the Dominican Republic.
