LR4. Began in 1923 from the upper floors of the Gran Splendid theatre (T.F. Grand Splendid Theatre), inaugurated 1924 as LOW; by 1930 LR4 Radio Splendid with new studios at Ayacucho 1556; later moved to Maipú 555, Arenales 1925 (1972), Freire 932 (1998) and Conde 935 (2011).[1]Single source

Gardel and Razzano's first radio appearance took place on 30 September 1924 on Radio Gran Splendid (LOW), at Av. Santa Fe 1876 in the Gran Splendid building; the station also aired Gardel's NBC link-up of 5 March 1934.1924[2]Single source

Address conflict: es.wikipedia and a La Nación citation in en.wikipedia give Santa Fe 1860; todotango gives 1876 for the radio in the same building; the city's Historias de mi comuna page says 'Avenida Santa Fe al 1880'. In OpenStreetMap 1860 and 1876 are about 14 m apart on the same frontage, so we keep 1860 (the number the building has today as the Ateneo bookshop) and list the others as variants.[6]Single source

Santa Fe 1876 is how todotango writes the station's address.[2]Single source

The station began on 23 May 1923 on the building's first floor as 'Grand Splendid Theatre' and took its traditional name in 1929.1923–1929[6]Single source
