World Radio Day 2024

[9A4NA]

Svima koji slave čestitam svjetski dan radija.

It is generally believed that the first radio transmission was made by Guglielmo Marconi in 1895 and radio broadcasting of music and talk that was aimed towards a wider audience came into existence, albeit experimentally, sometimes around 1905-1906.

The radio came into existence commercially in the early 1920s. Radio stations came into existence almost three decades later and the radio and broadcasting system became a common commodity around the world by the 1950s.

Almost 60 years later, in 2011, Member States of UNESCO proclaimed February 13 as being World Radio Day. It was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2013 as an International event.

One of the most widely consumed medium at the global level, the UN says the radio has the ability to "shape a society's experience of diversity, stand as an arena for all voices to speak out, be represented and heard."
