Rulo, El Sopitas and Julio Martinez went on to work in Reactor (radio station) 105.7 FM, public radio from IMER. Others have moved on to TV, as Fernanda Tapia who hosts the talk and discussion forum show "Diálogos en confianza", from IPN´s Canal 11. Or the case of Ilana Sod, host and interviewer for MTV LA news. The crazy and controversial Olallo Rubio has been working with others who used to work at Radioactivo on a magazine called R&R and, most recently, on a Podcast called "El Podcast de Olallo Rubio", where he makes fun at society in general, Mexican politics, relationships with the US government and other controversial topics. Some others are working on different radiostations like Neurótica F.M (in Toluca), WRadio (Mexico City) and writing blogs or podcasting in www.dixo.com. Arturo López Gavito became one of the most hated judges from TV Azteca show La Academia, a mexican version of a US reality show.
