Paco el Cóndor, the biggest radio personality in Spain, leaves his radio station as he signs up for a competitor. His aggressive style attracts the attention from the radio listeners.{{Cite web|url=https://vertele.eldiario.es/noticias/movistar-concluye-rodaje-serie-reyes-de-la-noche_0_2271072914.html|website=Vertele!|publisher=eldiario.es|title='Reyes de la noche' concluye su rodaje en Movistar+: "Es tan frenética como el periodo que les tocó vivir"|date=23 September 2020}} His second in command and pupil, the younger Jota, stays and becomes his rival as they vie for hegemony in the radio system. While Jota initially disapproves of El Cóndor's methods, he learns the hard way that if he is to succeed, he will need to follow his former master's steps. Meanwhile, the radio programme hosted by Marga Laforet is moved to the early morning slot.
