National Radio Day is observed every year on August 20 to honor the invention and impact of radio on communication, entertainment, and community life. The date was chosen to commemorate the first daily broadcast by station 8MK in Detroit, Michigan, which began on August 20, 1920, under the name "Detroit News Radiophone".
