On April 11, 1949, President Juan Domingo Perón inaugurated the
 Argentine International Radio Service (SIRA) in the town of
 General Pacheco.  Initially, it broadcast in seven different
languages, 24 hours a day. With the overthrow of Perón by the
 Liberating Revolution in September 1955, SIRA was dismantled.
 It resumed broadcasting in 1958 during the government of
 Arturo Frondizi under the name Argentine Broadcasting to the
 World (RAE). Since July 2013, RAE has produced a daily news
 bulletin in English for the inhabitants of the Falkland Islands,
 called the Argentine News Bulletin. Currently, programming
 operations are carried out from the Autonomous City of Buenos
Aires in a building located at 555 Maipú Street, while the
 transmission plant is still located in General Pacheco. The 
programming focuses on news about current events in Argentina,
 as well as its culture, geography, and history, and also broadcasts
 Argentine music (primarily tango, folk music, and national rock).
