The UNESCO has declared 13 February as World Radio Day:
— a day to celebrate radio as a medium; to improve international cooperation between broadcasters; and to encourage major networks and community radio alike to promote access to information and freedom of expression over the airwaves.

      Personally, I love radio ...
