World Radio Day is celebrated globally on February 13, 2022, every year since 2012 to spread awareness about the importance of Radio in our lives.

On September 20, 2010, the Spain Radio Academy requested UNESCO (United Nation Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) to establish a day to recognize the importance of radio.

UNESCO carried out a wide consultation with various broadcasting associations, UN agencies, NGOs, as well as UNESCO Permanent delegations and National Commissions for UNESCO.

Among all these organizations 91% voted in the favor of the proposal. The UNESCO executive board recommended to UNESCO at its 36th session of general assembly that it proclaimed a word radio day at its 36th session.

Further, it was decided that the day will be celebrated on Feb 13 every year on the occasion of the anniversary of United Nation Radio, which was established by the UN on Feb 13, 1946.

So, since 2012, every year World Radio Day has been celebrated on Feb 13. The first World  Radio Day was hosted by the University of Pisa in Italy.
