February 13 @ 12:00 am – 11:30 pm
KOOP radio presents World Radio Day 2025. In 2012 the United Nations endorsed February 13th as a UN International Day to celebrate radio as a medium of free expression, promote international cooperation among radio broadcasters, encourage access to information and much more. During emergencies, such as natural disasters or severe weather events, we are reminded of the fragility of modern life. Many Texans have only to think back to February 2021 to remember how dependent on the electrical grid we are for survival and emergency communication. That’s why AM/FM radio has been called the first responder of media. “When the lights go out and the internet shuts down – an increasingly common occurrence – broadcast radio serves as an invaluable lifeline.” Be sure your home and car are equipped at all times with a self-powered portable radio and fresh batteries.
