Although there is not one authoritative source on the history of National Radio Day, it has been celebrated since the early 1990s on August 20. Perhaps it was decided that August 20 would be an appropriate day because 8MK (now WWJ) in Detroit, first broadcast on August 20, 1920.
Celebrate National Radio Day on Tuesday, August 20 by telling a friend about RADIO Listening ! National Radio Day is a time to honour one of the most longstanding electronic media and its role in our everyday lives. It is also a time to honour community radio listeners, volunteers, staff and contributors!
Radio delivers information, news, entertainment and company to millions of listeners every hour of every day. Of course, does so with listener support and volunteer power. Thank you, and happy National Radio Day!
