He was also part of Radio Libertad and Radio Buenos Aires.

During 2003,  Feliz Domingo  and Telekino's draws were simultaneous in time and had to leave them temporarily, due to  a court case arising from the performance of his partner Giselle Rímolo as a doctor, without a degree. This case was also made media and Soldán  was imprisoned for 61 days as he considered him involved. 

In 2005 he returned to television to drive the third stage of  Feliz Domingo , leaving later driving and keeping it alone in the “ Ping-Pong section of Questions and Answers”, the most successful and representative segment of the program. At the end of this, he drove  Aguante Tango , in the style of  Grandes Valores del Tango.  Then he took over  Volver a Cantar  , in which grandparents and grandchildren participated singing to win the alumni trip.Again, between 2010 and 2012 and again in 2014, he conducted the program  Back Pregunta , for four seasons.
