On-air dismissal of Gustavo Macalpin
On October 7, 2024, station director Luis Arnoldo Cabada Alvídrez dismissed Ciudadano 2.0 host Gustavo Macalpin during the program. The unexpected public termination was criticized as intimidating and humiliating. Because Macalpin had criticized Morena politicians and other prominent Mexican public figures, the incident also prompted public debate over whether political censorship might have been involved, although the reference material does not establish that censorship occurred.
