On 3rd November 2011, the General Conference of UNESCO has approved the proposal, initiated by the Spanish Radio Academy and supported by URTI, EBU, ITU, ABU and WBU, as well as by a large number of other public and commercial Radio organizations, to proclaim 13 February as World Radio Day.
Being the decision to proclaim officially the Radio Day on the agenda of the forthcoming session of the UN, proper celebrations will be organized for the 2013 edition.
Nonetheless URTI is proud of supporting this initiative since its very beguinning, and counts on the involvement of all its radio partners to make the world celebrate Radio as the most ancient media, yet evergreen, accessible to all and close to all people.
For this coming 13 February URTI invites all its members to download and broadcast an audio message by Mrs. Irina Bokova, Director General of UNESCO, in 4 languages – English, French, Spanish and Russian – which you can find
