Created with the aim of offering religious services, since the 1980s its programming has evolved into the model of conventional general radio, while maintaining programs with religious content, such as El Espejo (The Mirror) of José Luis Restán and La linterna de la Iglesia (The Lantern of the Church) of Faustino Catalina, and, especially on Sundays and special dates marked on the liturgical calendar such as Christmas and Easter, Holy Mass and Iglesia noticia (Church message) are broadcast. Its editorial guideline is the promotion of the views of the hierarchy of the Spanish Catholic Church.[1]
