AUGUST 20, 2012 - NATIONAL RADIO DAY
National Radio Day celebrates a
great invention and communications medium, it is always on August 20.
The invention of
the radio dates back to the late 1800s. A number of inventors played a role in
creating this important medium. A number of inventions and discoveries were
required to make the radio a reality. This included both transmission and
reception methods and technology. The radio somewhat evolved from the telegraph
and the telephone, with wireless telegraph directly contributing to its
invention.
Celebrating National
Radio Day is easy listening. Simply tune into your favorite radio
stations, we suggest local. You could also give your local radio
personalities a little recognition. Request a song...you may even get to
hear it! :)
The Origin of National Radio Day:
We found some
evidence on blogs and radio station websites suggesting that this is a more
recently established holiday, dating only to the 1990s. Radio station
personnel, in a number of radio stations, began talking about creating their
own holiday. After all, they frequently promoted bizarre and unique holidays of
all kinds. From these conversations, this special day took on life.
Our research did
not find a identify an individual or group having created this day.
We did not find any
documentation confirming this to be a "National" day. We found no
congressional records or presidential proclamation.
