A journalist, a reporter, a news counter capable of moving masses and have engaged in a country unable to go to bed until after one thirty in the morning daily information if no longer required. Because the teacher did not care García schedules. Your clock marks the hours. It was the first to arrive and last to leave. He taught me the phrase that one day I Alfonso Azuara journalist recalled: "Success will only work in front of a site, and that's the dictionary."
The 'butanito' as was 'christened' by a butane orange anorak who accompanied him on many of their movements, was commissioned to change the English radio, he and he alone, created and devised a new radio, programming where the sport was very important, something that with the passage of years were copying, radio, television, newspapers ... sport, with football as the leader took the role in a society increasingly hypocritical.
The name of José María García is synonymous with professionalism, reliability, accuracy ... "Garcia has said," that was enough for us because his audience believed in him. We knew that if José María García said it was because it was contrasted, not like now where we've been to contrast the news to all counts. You sell smoke if it is profitable for your newspaper or your average below the donkey ...
In April 2002 the English radio was an orphan. He was leaving the bigger, the one who taught us the journalists of tomorrow is better to live one day a hundred feet to his knees. Garcia was leaving, the 'Wizard of the Night', that he had been able for so many years to be number one, absolute leader of audience, by radio, creating a style that we adopt (with the obvious differences) all we had fortunate to work for him to grow as journalists in its shadow, learning from each eye to the tip! one of those many and varied 'tagline' that created the school.
His confrontation with the management of Telefónica to which advice on issues of communication to combine their program Sports under the direction of sports content area of \u200b\u200bthe Group, he took its toll. But Garcia, the best sports journalist who has seen the birth of this country, he marched with heads held high despite its small physical size. José María taught us that we can be big, very big no need to measure more than 1.70. That
April 2002 sports radio died because nothing would be the same. Reach other programs, other journalists, a different philosophy ... but Garcia was not in so many times that we had gone to bed with whom we breakfasted and lunched daily with that classic did you hear what he said yesterday José Maria Garcia?
No matter where you were, whether the Being, in Antena 3, Cope, Onda Cero ... did not matter because our colors were those of Garcia, Super Garcia was where he was.
The teacher disappeared from today and we are his faithful followers, those who Garcia had taught us how it should be a good journalist we had to make do with listening to some of its outstanding students. Some we won by that remembrance Super García, others however, disappointed us and we lost forever. The night radio was not the same without Garcia, Sundays free Sundays were less playing time, without giving way to flush of grass ...
In 2006 we shrink a little heart to all those who admire him on the news that has cancer. But his most difficult match so beat, winning the battle certainly more complicated than had in your life.
Since then we have lived with rumors of his desired return to date has not been finished concrete. It does not matter either to the world of football, politics or general information, but journalism needs it, in their daily lessons, the lectures that gave us without asking anything in return and with a single premise: to defend the truth .
These lines are my special tribute to José María García, master teacher, a role model, a great journalist, an accountant news, truths. An exemplary journalist. A gentleman. Super García
Thanks!
