World Radio Day is observed annually on February 13 to recognise the importance of radio as a medium of communication and its role in informing, entertaining and fostering dialogue.
The date marks the anniversary of the establishment of United Nations Radio in 1946. UNESCO’s General Conference proclaimed February 13 as World Radio Day in 2011, and it was later adopted as an international day by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012.
The day aims to raise public awareness of the value of radio, encourage access to information, and promote international cooperation among broadcasters, highlighting the enduring relevance of radio in every society.
