The iconic
Saber y
Ganar contest , the singer Luz Casal or the radio program
El Món a Rac 1
are some of the winners of the 2022 Ondas Awards, which this year celebrate their 69th edition.
The journalist Carles Francino, who has received an award for his career of more than 40 years behind the microphones and his professional work, "especially during and after the pandemic", has learned of the award in full broadcast of his radio program,
Window,
who was presenting the Ondas.
“You have to fuck yourself”, she exclaimed, using his usual humor, confessing that they had not told her anything about the award until that moment.
The Ondas Awards, given by Grupo Prisa (editor of EL PAÍS) through Ràdio Barcelona, from Cadena SER, aim to highlight innovation in the fields of radio, music and television, both nationally and internationally.

Precisely, the international scene has played a leading role in this award ceremony, which this year has exceeded the participation record with 559 nominations, from 15 countries.
The general secretary of these awards, Jaume Serra, has announced that the International Television Ondas Award has been for the documentary
Crimes de guerre, avec les enquêteurs en Ukraine,
by Radio Télevision Suisse.
In his case, the jury has determined that his "brilliant investigative process" has achieved a "living portrait" of the war in Ukraine, which has also attracted the recognition of other communicative bets of national journalism.
Specifically, the coverage of the war conflict carried out by the information services of Radio Nacional de España, embodied in the figure of Fran Sevilla, with decades covering international conflicts behind her, has won the Ondas Award for the best special radio program.
"The first thing that came to my mind [when learning about the award] are the most difficult moments in Bucha", the journalist recalled about the massacre that took place in this Ukrainian town, when contacted by
La Ventana
to comment on the award.
"Objectivity does not exist, but [as journalists] we have to try to be honest, to report what is happening," he added.
Televisión Española has also been recognized for its coverage of the conflict with the award for best current affairs program or special coverage.
