http://www.worldradioday.org/ PRONOUNCEMENT We would like to support the initiative of the Spanish Radio Academy to propose to the UNESCO the founding of a "World Radio Day" within the International Days UN calendar. Since its launch more than a century ago, radio is free and accessible to the majority of the worlds population. Radio deserves a World Radio Day tribute. Undoubtedly, this date will be celebrated by radio professionals and millions of radio listeners around the world. We are agreeable to celebrate the "World Radio Day" on every 30th of October. This date coincides with the broadcasting of one of the most relevant and well-known radio programmes in the history of radio, The War of the Worlds. This radio drama was directed by Orson Welles and broadcast by CBS on the 30th of October 1938 and since then, radio stations all over the world have produced versions in their own languages.
