National Radio Day – August 20th: A Tribute to the Voices That Connect Us

Every year on August 20th, the radio community comes together to celebrate National Radio Day—a day dedicated to honoring the enduring impact of radio on society.

For those in the industry, it’s more than just a celebration; it’s a moment to reflect on the power of radio to inform, entertain, and connect people across the globe.
