UNESCO executive board backs February 13 World Radio Day proposal

The Executive Board of UNESCO has recommended the proclamation of a 
World Radio Day to raise awareness of radio's importance, facilitate 
access to information through radio and enhance broadcaster cooperation.

The suggested date for World Radio Day is 13 February, after UNESCO 
Director General Irina Bokova said this was appropriate, since it was on 
that day in 1946 when UN radio was established.

After the original proposal by Spain, UNESCO carried out a consultation 
process starting in June 2011, involving many stakeholders, including 
the EBU and sister unions, EBU Members, public, state, private, 
community and international broadcasters. The study found that 91% of 
those asked supported the idea.

The UNESCO Executive Board has recommended that the upcoming General 
Conference proclaims a World Radio Day on 13 February, and that the 
Director General of UNESCO submits the final resolution to the UN 
General Assembly for endorsement.
