St. Kitts and Nevis joined the rest of the world in celebrating World Radio Day on Thursday, February 13th, 2025.
World Radio Day is celebrated on February 13th each year, in honor of the launch of the first broadcast of United Nations Radio in 1946.
It is a day chosen to pay homage towards the impact and power that radio has given to the people around the globe. Radio is one of the most dependable and widely utilized forms of media in the world.
Proclaimed in 2011 by UNESCO Member States and adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012 as International Day of the United Nations, February 13th became World Radio Day (WRD).
It is understood that radio contributes to the achievement of its international objectives by supporting populations in the face of climate change through the dissemination of fact-based information, listeners voices, dedicated radio shows and more.
UNESCO was quoted as saying “To all radio professionals and volunteers, everywhere in the world, UNESCO salutes your daily work and your commitment to the future of our planet, our future.”
