Los 40 Revives ‘El Gran Musical’ for 60th Anniversary, Tony Aguilar to Host Simulcast Series

A themed, non‑chronological reboot will tap archival audio plus veteran voices to link six decades of pop.

Overview

  • The weekly run begins March 15 at 9:00 a.m. on Sundays, airing simultaneously on Los 40 and Los 40 Classic through the end of the year.
  • Episodes focus on topics such as the LOS40 chart’s milestones, major debuts, ballads, rock, fan culture, one‑hit wonders, and summer anthems.
  • Producer Jorge Sánchez will add historical context, Fernandisco contributes a weekly segment, and archival cuts from Joaquín Luqui will feature regularly.
  • The program remains radio‑first, with select segments and interviews captured on video for social channels rather than a full video podcast.
  • Aguilar, a station fixture since 1991 and current Del 40 al 1 host, also discussed Eurovision, respecting RTVE’s decision to skip this year’s festival after commenting since 2018.
