Spanish radio presenters Javi Nieves and Mar Amate led Cadena 100's ¡Buenos días, Javi y Mar! morning broadcasts on November 11 and November 13, 2026, covering severe storms, a nationwide strike, a global Microsoft outage and Rosalía's Latin Grammy triumph.
Across the 60-minute 08:00 CET broadcast on November 11, published at 09:09 by the station's digital newsroom, and five hourly programmes from 06:00 to 10:00 CET on November 13, news presenter Carlos Márquez and contributor Jimeno joined the hosts to pair domestic and international news with listener call-ins, comedy surveys and music segments.
Cadena 100, one of Spain's main commercial music and entertainment radio networks, airs ¡Buenos días, Javi y Mar! Monday to Friday from 06:00 to 11:00 and Saturdays from 06:00 to 10:00, alongside the weekday afternoon show Mateo & Andrea with hosts Mateo and Andrea from 16:00 to 20:00. In the November 11 bulletin, Márquez reported that severe weather driven by Storms Bruna and Charles forced authorities to suspend school classes in the western Spanish region of Extremadura.
Spanish Strikes, Court Rulings and November 11 Segments
During the same November 11 broadcast, Márquez reported on a general strike across Spain over housing costs and wages, a rise in female entrepreneurship, the psychological and health risks of forced smiles, and the use of artificial intelligence to detect errors in court rulings in Andalusia.
In the entertainment segments on November 11, the team presented collaborator Fernando Martín's absurd survey, joked about key-in-the-lock syndrome and shared unexpected mishaps suffered by listeners on their wedding days. In Jimeno's segment, children celebrated International Singles' Day on November 11 by listing the advantages of being single, before the hosts reviewed music news featuring songs by Gonzalo Hermida, Dua Lipa and Ariana Grande, who broke records on the music charts.
Microsoft Outage, Legal Probes and Domestic News

With Mar Amate absent due to illness during the earlier hours, Javi Nieves, Jimeno and Carlos Márquez anchored coverage of a worldwide outage in Microsoft services, including Outlook and Teams, which disrupted remote work.
In the 07:00 news bulletin, the team reported that the Civil Guard's Central Operative Unit (UCO) was investigating Koldo García and José Luis Ávalos for alleged money laundering, while the European Public Prosecutor's Office investigated possible fraud involving funds for anti-abuse tracking bracelets.
Domestic coverage across the morning also highlighted National Statistics Institute (INE) figures putting Spain's population close to 50 million inhabitants, a government plan to replace eight million gas meters with digital models over 10 years, and an increase in private health insurance in Spain. Márquez tracked the evolution of Storm Charles alongside persistent rain in Galicia and the Cantabrian coast, a fire in the northern city of Bilbao, and market figures showing sobrasada from Mallorca leading Spain as the best-selling cured sausage with a protected geographical indication.
Rosalía's Latin Grammy Win and Music Highlights
Cultural coverage throughout the November 13 broadcasts focused on Catalan singer Rosalía, who emerged as the big winner of the night at the Latin Grammy Awards. During the 10:00 hour, the presenters highlighted an emotional moment at the ceremony when Colombian musician Juanes presented Rosalía with the award for Album of the Year while recalling her early career beginnings.
In the 09:00 hour, the studio team played an audio word-puzzle game built around Rosalía's hit songs and reported that Irish rock band U2 dedicated a song to her on their new album. Earlier, the 08:00 broadcast examined Spanish singer Leire Martínez's perspective on family work-life balance, while the 10:00 programme covered American singer Miley Cyrus's decision to pause international tours to focus on one-off concerts and enjoy her personal life.
Marking Singles' Day during the 10:00 hour, the presenters also debated the ideal songs for summoning love and spoke with listeners accompanying their workday with the station, before presenter Luz Medina closed the broadcast by introducing a 45-minute block of uninterrupted music on Cadena 100.

The hosts also discussed the online shopping trend of bracketing, in which customers buy multiple clothing sizes online to try on and return the rest, as well as the rotten apple effect, parenting anecdotes, interpreting cat behaviour, listener contests and unusual pet names.
