Tuning in: Celebrating World Radio Day 2025!
Every year on February 13 your favourite stations celebrate World Radio Day, but why?
In a world where technology is always changing, one medium has remained timeless: radio!
Today, February 13, we're celebrating World Radio Day (WRD) – a day that recognises the power radio has in connecting people and driving positive change.
History of World Radio Day
Declared by UNESCO in 2011, WRD was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012 as an International Day.
The day highlights the importance of radio in promoting diversity, inclusivity, and democratic discourse.
Radio is uniquely positioned to reach remote areas and communities that may not have access to mainstream media.
It provides an important platform for people of all backgrounds and education levels to engage in public conversations.
With its ability to shape societal perceptions of diversity and amplify all voices, radio also plays a crucial role in everything – from emergency communication and disaster relief to educating and entertaining communities.
