Sin Filtros owner breaks silence on Feito exit, clarifies Eyzaguirre's behind-scenes role

Gastón Calcagno, the man who says he owns the political talk show Sin Filtros, finally spoke up this week to set the record straight. He was tired of the noise—the leaked audio, the rumors, the versions of events that didn't match his own. What he wanted to say, above all else, was this: he is the sole owner of the production company Mediapromax and the sole owner of Sin Filtros. No one else. Not Gonzalo Feito, the journalist who recently departed. And definitely not Sebastián Eyzaguirre, the controversial figure whose voice appeared in a leaked recording from the show "Que Te Lo Digo."

In an interview with Radio Bío Bío, Calcagno rejected the narrative that Feito had been fired. The leaked audio seemed to show Eyzaguirre cursing Feito out, throwing him out of the program. But Calcagno said that wasn't what happened at all. Feito wasn't an employee in the traditional sense—he was a contractor, a service provider. The relationship ended, Calcagno explained, because Feito wouldn't agree to new terms. The main demand was simple: Sin Filtros needed to broadcast live every episode. Until then, some had been recorded in advance. Feito resisted signing on to that change. He didn't show up to work as expected. He violated confidentiality agreements. He generated internal problems. By the time the lawyers got involved, Calcagno said, Feito had effectively abandoned the contract.

Feito's own account differed. He said negotiations had broken down—he didn't confirm or deny being fired. He claimed the Sin Filtros team had grown jealous when he started a new show on Porcel TV, and he suggested that Eyzaguirre's audio had something to do with his exit. Calcagno flatly denied the jealousy angle. He said he didn't even know Feito had another program.

The bigger mystery, though, was Eyzaguirre himself. For years, rumors had circulated that the former CQC personality was the real owner of Sin Filtros, hiding in the background to protect the show's reputation with sponsors. Eyzaguirre has faced violence allegations and carries baggage in the press. There was even an audio of him yelling at staff over some program matter. A former panelist claimed Eyzaguirre had tried to influence his segment behind the scenes, which is why he didn't return.

When asked directly about Eyzaguirre's role, Calcagno was emphatic: he is not the owner. He is a contractor. Calcagno pays him—or rather, pays his company—to provide content advice. "He's very good and very talented," Calcagno said. And yes, Eyzaguirre does shape what happens on the show. He creates much of what Feito says on camera. He advises on content, on how segments are built, on the overall direction. That's what consulting means, Calcagno said. Genius sometimes requires a guiding hand.

As for the audio itself, Calcagno offered a timeline. The recording was from 2023, he said, a moment when tensions flared because Feito had developed a web format called "Quién Paga la Fiesta"—Who Pays the Party—that copied what Sin Filtros was already doing. That's when Eyzaguirre lost his temper. The audio, in other words, was old news, a snapshot of a specific conflict, not evidence of a firing that happened this week.

What remains unresolved is the fundamental question: who really left, and why. Calcagno's version is one of contractual failure and abandoned obligations. Feito's is one of broken negotiations and jealousy. The truth, as usual, sits somewhere in the middle—or perhaps nowhere at all. What is clear is that Sin Filtros continues, Feito is gone, and Eyzaguirre remains in the shadows, advising, shaping, creating. The show goes on.
