Theme 2015 : " Youth and Radio "
World Radio Day marks the anniversary of the first broadcast by UN Radio in 1946, when it transmitted its first call sign: "This is the United Nations calling the peoples of the world."
World Radio Day is about celebrating radio, why we love it and
why we need it today more than ever. A day to remember the unique power
of radio to touch lives and bring people together across every corner of
the globe. Join the celebration!

MESSAGE ON WORLD RADIO DAY
13 February 2015
On World Radio Day, we celebrate a medium
that captures the imagination and brings people together.
This year United Nations Radio, along with
the United Nations, celebrates its 70th anniversary. Every year, United
Nations Radio broadcasts over 1,200 documentaries, news items and editorials over
the airwaves.
This year’s observance of World Radio Day
highlights the importance of radio to the world’s 1.8 billion young women and
men.
Radio matters for youth across the world.
As the international community shapes new
sustainable development goals and a new global agreement on climate change, we
need to hear the voices young women and men, loudly, strongly and urgently.
