The death of Pepe Domingo Castaño, the well-known journalist and radio host of the Cope network, has taken everyone by surprise. The world of communication and sports has been left orphaned and the expressions of affection have not stopped happening since the sad news was communicated.
In this case, not only on the part of those who worked side by side with the journalist on his program, but also colleagues from other networks, who did not want to miss the moment to say goodbye to him. One of them was Alfonso Arús, the presenter of La Sexta, who this morning lamented the death of Castaño with some nice words.
Reference in the world of sports journalism and one of the best communicators in our country. This is how Pepe Domingo Castaño will always be remembered, who died this weekend at the age of 80 after sepsis caused by a persistent throat infection resistant to different antibiotics. The fatal outcome was not something that was seen coming, much less so hastily. Hence the commotion caused.
For this reason, there are many media outlets that have wanted to pay a nice tribute to Castaño. One of the first this Monday was Aruser@os, from La Sexta, captained by Alfonso Arús.
“Radio veteran, a legend of sports journalism,” defined Marc Llobet, one of the program’s collaborators, to the popular radio journalist who was also a pioneer in the musical field on both radio and television.
“He had a gold record in Mexico for even singing,” reported Alba Sánchez. While Angie Cárdenas, Arús’s wife, commented on the beautiful relationship of friendship that united Pepe Domingo with Julio Iglesias: “It goes back to the time in which Julio launches A song to Galicia and has some doubts regarding the correct use of Galician in some expression and there he gets advice from Pepe Domingo and from there is how a real friendship begins.
For his part, Alfonso Arús also mourned his death live and paid him a small tribute with the following words. “Not only has he been an extraordinary radio player, but also a great creator,” he began by saying.
“Not only did he innovate in advertising, but also in poetry. Surely in the memory of viewers is that poetry that he delivered when the sports program ended, making a perfect and wonderful summary of the day,” he explained. With the departure of Pepe Domingo Castaño, the world of journalism and radio in particular, is left without one of his references. There will always be a void.
