The question has arisen many times, "What would the world be like without music?" The answer is always the same, "BORING!" Can you imagine the monotony without melodious sounds? Can you imagine life without radio? Not only does it transmit music but is crucial to broadcasting and advertising all over the globe. With that being said, let's celebrate! Turn your radio on...Turn the volume up!

February 13 is. . .

Around the WORLD!

The World Radio Day seeks raise awareness about the importance of radio, facilitate access to information through radio and enhance networking among broadcasters.

Radio has to be recognized as a low cost medium, specifically suited to reach remote communities and vulnerable people: the illiterate, the disabled, women, youth and the poor, while offering a platform to intervene in the public debate, irrespective of people’s educational level. Furthermore, radio has a strong and specific role in emergency communication and disaster relief.

There is also a changing face to radio services which, in the present times of media convergence, are taking up new technological forms, such as broadband, mobiles and tablets. However, it is said that up to a billion people still do not have access to radio today.
