The journalist, broadcaster, and host Oscar “Negro” González Oro passed away this Friday at the age of 74 in Punta del Este, Uruguay. The news of his death became known in recent hours and caused a strong shock in the Argentine media environment.
Born in Mendoza on October 16, 1951, González Oro built a career spanning several decades and became one of the emblematic figures of AM radio. His direct style, unique tone of voice, and the closeness he sought to establish with listeners were some of the characteristics that marked his trajectory.
For several years, he had been residing in Punta del Este, a city where he remained connected to the media. In 2024, for example, he had led the morning programming of the station El Observador 107.9 from Uruguay.
