About the initiative

Proclaimed in 2011 by the Member States of UNESCO, and adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012 as an International Day, February 13 became World Radio Day. It is an occasion to draw public’s attention to the unique value of this timeless medium that is currently taking up new technological forms and devices. With this dedicated website, egta highlights radio’s core strengths: its ability to reach a huge and engaged audience, its exceptional offer to advertisers, its creative power and its innovation for the listeners of today and tomorrow. Let’s celebrate!
