highlighted radio's social role and its importance as a tool for information, education, and social integration, as World Radio Day is commemorated today.
Via social media, the Presidential Office shared a message stating, "Radio is a voice that informs, educates, and accompanies," underscoring its ability to bring communities together and strengthen cultural identity.
As every year, World Radio Day is observed on February 13, marking the creation of United Nations Radio in 1946.
For 2026, the central theme is "Radio and Artificial Intelligence," with an emphasis on the ethical use of this technology as a complementary tool that does not replace the human voice.
Radio in Peru
Currently, broadcasting services are regulated by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, which grants authorizations and sets standards for their operation.
In Peru, radio emerged in the 1920s with the aim of broadcasting government messages and public events.
Over time, the medium expanded through broadcasts from State institutions and universities, consolidating its reach nationwide.
