World Radio Day is commemorated on February 13. In an era of rapid technological advancement, where new platforms quickly become obsolete, radio has remained a reliable, trusted, and widely used medium for two centuries, serving listeners around the globe.

In 2025, a crucial year for addressing climate change, the theme of World Radio Day will be Radio and Climate Change. This year will highlight the diverse opportunities offered by radio broadcasting, which plays a vital role in raising awareness about climate change issues.

World Radio Day, declared by UNESCO in 2011, commemorates the establishment of UN Radio on February 13, 1946. The world’s first regular radio broadcast began in Pittsburgh, USA, in November 1921, while Georgia transmitted its first radio signal in 1925. In 2025, Georgia will celebrate the centenary of its first radio broadcast.
