[1] By then, he replaced the announcer of the Música Viva show in Radio Rebelde, but he recognizes that at the beginning of that experience he was not good because he talked too fast.
He had a lot of help during that time from Luis Alarcón Santana, which made him read out loud and listen to Radio Reloj, where he still works.
[8] During an interview made almost eighteen years after he started working in Radio Reloj, he said about his job: “It's hard work, because other than knowing the extent of this radio station, you have to talk for an entire hour, reading the news at first sight, without some preparation first, it takes a lot from the announcers, that's why it needs a lot of experience, focus and interpretation when being on air”.

From this radio program, Lomonte also covers news and talks frequently about the COVID-19 pandemic, including the latest advances in related scientific investigations.
In May 2019, Lomonte's half-brother, named Luis Ernesto, was shot and killed at the age of 39 by a police officer during an altercation in which SWAT security forces raided his home in Davie, Florida.
During the standoff, Luis Ernesto had posted a video on YouTube showing him sitting in front of a screen with multiple surveillance cameras, saying they showed officers outside his home; while his girlfriend, who was in the house with him, also posted a video on Facebook, saying she and her boyfriend had been bothered by neighbors before police arrived, and also claiming that police were trying to shoot them.
