He joined
Radio Panamericana in the fifties, as part of the administration of that radio station founded by his father at the beginning of the fifties. Then he founded Radio Programas del Peru, a nation-wide radio station dedicated to the national transmission of radio-drama programs, services, and counseling. He held the management of
Panamericana Televisión from 1968 to 1971, when the Military Government took control of the media. In the years following he lived in
Buenos Aires,
Puerto Rico and
Los Angeles,
California. Manuel returned from the
US in 1979 and assumed leadership of
RPP. As such he would initiate the Information Center, space which would serve to reach more people through the wide dissemination of news; this program still characterizes this radio station today. In 1990 Manuel founded the
Society of Latin America Broadcasting, made up of the main radio networks of
Ecuador,
Colombia, Venezuela
Bolivia and
Argentina. He was responsible for leading
Panamericana Televisión during the nineties and remained as the main shareholder of this channel until he sold his shares to boost the formation of
RPP Group, a company which he currently manages. In addition, he founded in the
US, together with his brother
Hector Delgado Parker, the international Peruvian television network
Sur Perú, aimed at the Peruvian community in that country. == See also ==
