“To those who work in the media and didn’t know who Dante Gebel was. Did you think Vorterix was from Pergolini? I ask. Did no one spend a Saturday afternoon there? I ask! There’s going to be so much ‘chacagiales’,” he posted Malena Pichot in her personal X account. The comic actress, referring to the media company, located at the intersection of the Buenos Aires neighborhoods of Chacarita and Colegiales, pointed out the commercial link between the television host Mario Pergolini and the media evangelist pastor Dante Gebel.
It is known that the relationship between Pergolini and Dante Gebel began on a professional and creative level. Several years ago, both communicators met following an interview and found affinities that led them to work together on television and streaming projects from the United States to the Argentine public. The creator of “Caiga Quien Caiga”, with his experience in media and technological structure through Vorterix, joined as producer and partner in the production of content linked to Gebel.
Gebel, for his part, has built a career that combines preaching, entertaining and hosting. His communication style led him to fill stadiums during the ’90s in Argentina and, over time, to lead one of the most prominent Hispanic congregations in the United States. With wide reach in the Latino community and international recognition, the pastoral leader of the River Church in California is recognized for hosting television programs such as Dante Night Show and The Divine Night.
This year, as well as every so often, Dante Gebel was interviewed by Pergolini in the cycle “Another Lost Day”, where he addressed such diverse topics that he even said that he did not rule out being president of the Nation. “You have to get up and do something… I don’t rule it out,” Gebel responded to Pergolini’s question about a possible candidacy. A statement, and quite a bet, that many political sectors observe with great interest.
Of course, the relationship between Pergolini and Gebel is not limited to isolated interviews. The link evolved into a professional society in television and streaming content. The businessman who founded Cuatro Cabezas in the nineties joined as producer and technological partner of Gebel projectsparticularly in “The Divine Night of Dante” broadcast on El Trece. “Mario is a friend and partner in this project,” Gebel declared regarding his new partner.
The creative bond between the two is supported by the business structure that Pergolini installed when he left Rock & Pop. Vorterixthe multimedia platform that combines streaming radio, live broadcasts and digital content, has become one of the tools with which Pergolini promotes these joint projects. However, the company is going through a complex stage: in 2025 it requested a preventive bankruptcy to protect itself from seizures and tax claims due to accumulated million-dollar losses.
According to various sources, the two celebrities are working on expanding partnership proposals for television, streaming and networks, merging Pergolini’s career in the media with Gebel’s global visibility. This link is part of a trend of rapprochement and economic need between traditional media figures and communicators with an enormous presence in digital audiences of television evangelism.
