World Radio Day 2026 is observed on February 13 each year to recognise the enduring importance of radio as a powerful and accessible medium of communication. The date commemorates the launch of United Nations Radio in 1946, symbolising global cooperation and information sharing after World War II. The 2026 theme, “Radio and Artificial Intelligence: AI is a tool, not a voice,” highlights the supportive role of technology in broadcasting while preserving human creativity and credibility. The observance also acknowledges the radio’s role in education, disaster communication, cultural preservation, and community engagement worldwide.
